Hi everyone. I finally end planning what how the system will be, and here it is. Here are a couple of pictures and diagram of what will be a the 30g system for a 10g hexagon display tank.
Here is the victim

Here is a small diagram of how the system will work and some of the equipment

My favorite feature of this system is the fuge. As you can see it is divided in 4 section. I plan this for the only purpose to have a clean and easy to work with fuge. I’m gonna divide the section with Tank Divider.
Tank Dividers (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=9837&Ntt=divider&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&N=2004&Nty=1)
The Fuge and the Sump will be in the closet. The sump will be in the floor and the Fuge will be on the third rack, leaving the second rack free for other stuff like test kits, buckets food.........
I’m gonna cut this tank devider to about 4-6" just to keep the macro separated, specially the Caulerpa and the chaetomorpha.
In the first section I will only have about 5-10# of LR rubber. The second one I will keep Mermaid's Fans and Shaving Brush ( this 2 don't help a lot on reducing nitrate but do like them :D ), the third section will have Caulerpa, and the last section I will keep chaetomorpha. I choose to keep the chaeto on the last section since the chaeto tends to be the home for mysis shrimps and pods. This one they can make the one to the tank faster.
For the Fuge I will have a Smart Paq Retro fit kit for eclipse that I believe is 65#. Maybe I will had some Home depot bulbs to intensify the light.
As for the Display it is a 10g Hexagon tank (actually freshwater). Since I will have a DSB on the fuge I will only put about 1/2- 1" of sand around the rock, just for aesthetic purpose. I will try to fit more than 10# of LR and not compromise free water space. Aquascaping on this tank will be a all day job. For lighting I am ordering a Aqualight Advance Series HQI Metal Halide Fixture 150W.
For skimmer I hope I can fit a Coralife Super Skimmer 65 with a Quit one Pump 1200 as a return pump and still have enough space to at least install 2 baffle.
