Thanks guys.. Im gonna pick up a 180 gallon acrylic Seaclear tank tomorrow. Its 72 x 24 x 24...how I need the best plan for a sump/refugium...
any ideas? I was thinking :
1st chamber as the sock where water enters in
2nd Skimmer
IN BETWEEN BAFFLES
3rd Refugium
BAFFLES
4th rubble rocks
BAFFLES
5th return pump area

what are your thoughts on this plan? What is the best size to use for this? I was thinking a glass 50 gallon.

If you want to have one made, Andy at My Reef Creations makes some fantastic sumps. I have his large sump on my 180 and it is fantastic.
