    Yes, there is more than enough room in the sump for the siphoning of the sump and the fuge. I have tested it more then once... Does anyone knows if the small white creature is a starfish? It's about 5mm in diameter. I'm thinking of making a bigger sump and using the current sump as a...

    Bored! So lets design a Skimmer!

    Thank you very much for the reply. I'm just starting my tank (there's no water yet...) so I'm starting from scratch. I want to build my sump first and include a skimmer and a refugium. Do you have any recommendation? Thank you Ludovic

    Bored! So lets design a Skimmer!

    Is there any update on the skimmer? I'm currently building a 30 gallons reef tank and I want to build a diy protien skimmer. I would really like to see what you come up with because there is a lot of diy skimmers but I don't know which one is good or not. I would like to build one for a sump...
