Ok, so i was going to buy a 24gDX nanocube but all this glass cracking stuff has me reconsidering. I currently have an eclipse 25 gallon tank setup as a FOWLR. I am thinking maybe i will make this my reef tank instead. I am planning on ditching the hood, adding MH lighting, and running a sump. But i have a few questions about which gear to use for this project.
1. is a 10 gallon sump ok for this?
2. which skimmer would be best for this size?
3. I want to run a refugium in the sump with chaeto, so how
chambers should i divide the sump into?
4. whats the best way to get the water moving?
5. If I use PC lighting for this tank until I can afford MH how many
watts should I use to make sure I can grow corals effectively?
Tank is approximately 18-20 inches deep
Any help appreciated as this will be my first tank wioth a sumpand not a hang on filter or built in filtration in the hood.
Thanks in advance guys!!:rollface:
