O, .help < O exhualted ones, I am trying to decide when I bring up my 75 gal reef tank, if I should just use hang on the back for protein skimmer, filter, ect. of should I use hang on the back overflow and put in a sump?????????? I was just going to use hang on the back for all, but today at my LFS I noticed a sump and it seemed pretty straight forward. I have 1+1/2 yrs with 5gallon nano, that has HOB filter, live rock, live sand, 10 watt 10,000k/acticnic blue. I have a clown fish, 10 mushrooms, colt leather, and small sponges, two hitchhicker ?clams. MY parameters are pH-8.2, ammonia-0,nitrate-0, nitrite<10, calcium 380 ppm, alkalinty-2.5mEq/l, specfic gravity -1.021. I bought a refractometer today as I am having trouble with keeping my specific gravity where I would like it, so soon that should be good.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT
