OK, this is the story, i have a well established 30g, with lots of life,
Im goning to add a 10 gal sump very soon, (since my tanks not sumpabul) IM going to get a hang on Continus sipohon over flow, something small. and im going to build my own sump, outta this 10gal tank
I dont want to use bio balls or anything that will have to be changed, (monthly or yearly) I like the way my tank is now, except i want to use the sump for extra filter a place to grow algie, and sea leatus, (so my tank stay free of that)
few q's
heat, i have a jager3604 heater will this be enought for a few more gal's?
(i figer maybe 4 or 5 more gallons)
my skimmer will fit underneath in the sump, i wil just have to make the tube that goes from the maxi 1200 to the aqua c remora longer.
what can i and what shouldnt i use in the sump
I was gonna go with a section of LS, and live mud. then a section with a bunch of LR, maybe 5 or 10 lbs more. then a section thats just clear (the part with the pump back in with will be all the way to the right,
should i put the skimmer on the side of the sump where the water comes in? OR on the side where the water goes out.
should i get another smaller heater? something small just incase?>
and what kinda of lights do i have to use, cause i use something small from like homedepot, something you would use in your kitchen? or do i need to have some major wattage?
THe name of the game is money, im not saveing im broke, im just trying to save for a house, and this hobbie is not cheap, will a reg florecent light work?
if i put a hood and a light for like a reg freshwater 10 gal tank will that work
anyone?
