Many thanks!
It's going to be a big big sump ... I'm converting my 210g to 300 gallon tank. The sump will be either 120g or 180g [ideally, 150g, but hard to find 5ft by 2 by 2ft old acrylic tanks].
So, it's a good idea to move the fuge after the skimmer, so as not to chomp up the critters living there [= food for the rest of the aquarium].
What I hear here is that I should put the return right after the skimmer, and have a separate [of sorts] area for the fuge
I also wanted to have a fixed water level in the skimmer section [easier to dial in].
I'll post a revision soon.
Again - Thanks!!
