So far, I have a 25 gallon glass tank. I plan on having the drain from the display and my skimmer in the first section. Then 3 glass plates, 1 set low, 1 set high, 1 set low. Then the fuge section (should I use miracle mud, live sand, live rock, caulerpa, or a combination). Then a glass plate set low. Then the return section with a submersible pump. I have not decided on an overflow box or a particular return pump yet. What are some suggestions? My display tank is a 70 gallon glass corner bowfront. It does not come to a corner in the back, it is flat. I want to put the heater in the sump as well. Also, I want good flow in the display tank. I have a goniopora, kenya tree, pagoda cup coral, alveopora, feather dusters, live rock, live sand, false perc, a yellow tang, white sand star, several snail of various sizes, and 2 peppermint shrimp. How much flow do I really need to keep everything as healthy as it is now? The goni and everything else seems to like waving in the water. How do I keep that going without having power heads in the display tank? What submersible return pump should I get? I like the idea of a U tube overflow box. Which one is best for the money? Also, any other suggestions would be appreciated. Right now, I have a CPR Bak Pak skimmer hanging on the back, 2 maxi jet 1200's inside the tank, and an 800 gph canister filter under the tank. Also, which section of the sump should I put the heater in?
