    Sump refugium questions

    180 gph in your sump isn't too much at all, no need to worry about washing your pods away :) You could probably handle a lot more than that also, if you decide you might want/need to some day

    Telah, your hose length from your return pump, and all the bends or elbows you have in it Billaweed, I got it from sunlight supply and i love it!

    That would be about 950 before head loss, but with head loss, about 500gph. I am thinking of upgrading, but there is plenty of flow in the display with the seios and maxis!

    Sump refugium questions

    A little mag 9.5, hooked up to an OM squirt 2 way Telah: Yep it just sits there :P Its best if it rolls over and over like in that vvideo link in my last post, but thats not always easy to do. It's supposed to keep detritus from settling and rotting in the chaeto, but I though they liked that...

    Sump refugium questions

    I would stay away from calupera, in case it decided to spawn on you or escaped into your main tank, that stuff is hard to get rid of. Chaeto is the most common most likely to how easy it is to care for (you don't), and it grows fast. That being said, I would rather have a skimmer than a ball...

    Sump refugium questions

    It doesnt look like you have any equipment in there, are you planning on putting a skimmer or heaters in? If not, you could use both chambers for a fuge, just toss a big ol ball of chaeto in there with some lights! The more chaeto the better. If you ARE going to toss some equipment down there...

    A new light question

    the times of the lights usually based on the aquarist's schedule, so you can see your tank when you get off work! Depending on what inhabitants you plan on having, 12 on 12 off is pretty common, although I run mine longer than that. I turn on my actinic first, then turn on the non actinic...
