I am having a LFS build me a new sump (Please no DIY referals).
I have a 90 Gallon and a Pine AGA stand...so there's enough room for at least a 30 gallon down there. I'm thinking of making the sump into a refugium, sump and also space for my new protein skimmer MSX 200. Will this all work in a 30 gallon? I'm not sure how big of a refugium I would need in a 90 gallon and I'm envisioning a 3 part sump.
The tank most likely be a 30 gallon(36" x 18" x 12") or 38 gallon (36 x 13 x 20), not sure if the sump should be better long or standard.
Part 1: Sump return (about...20+ gallons but not completely filled up..maybe 10 gallons filled.)
Part 2: Protein Skimmer (MSX200- 5 gallons)
Part 3: Refugium (5 gallons????)
