I am thinking of upgrading my sump / wet dry to a custom sump. Before I do that I wanted to see what everybody else is running. I was told by my LFS that I need the bioballs but everybody that looks at the pics tells me to ditch them?
My current sump (pic below) is 28x10x14 and as you can see has NO room left, I cant even fit the plumbing for my GFO reactor... The tank is a 90 gallon FOWLR that has (1 - Yellow Tang, 1- Niger Trigger, 1 - PP Puffer, 1 - PB Tang, 1 - Majestic Angel) and around 75lbs of live rock.
My cabinet space below is 36x14x14. I have looked at 20 Long (30.25x12.5x12.75) tank which would fit nicely. What I would like to add in the new sump is:
1. Bubble traps.
2. More Room.
3. Proper filtration to address higher nitrates if possible.
4. Easy maintenance.
If any body could help, gives thoughts, or share pics that would be great... Jeff
