Help needed

[saltyshoe_nano]

Hey all, I am thinking of getting a bigger tank soon, and need help with a sump/refuge design and build....can anyone help? I have the tanks but have no clue how to do it....lol last time I tried I made a flood occur....anyhelp would be great!

I was wanting side by side 29 gallon tanks....the 2 I have are drilled at the top in the middle, with bulkheads so I was thinking of connecting them with a 4" gap between..so a phos. reactor can fit there...how does that sound?

also is there an online CAD program or something I could draw it up for a better look?

A neat looking online program is Google SketchUp. It's free.

Bit of advice?

To bad, here it is anyway...

Pick your skimmer before you design the sump. That will likely be the largest thing that will be in the sump and you will want to make sure you have room to get it in and out.
