Keeping NPC in the sump

[DCS_888]

Do anyone here keep NPC in their sump? I am getting tire of the shrimp stealing food from my Rhizo. Since, I will be moving the Rhizo from my DT to my sump. I want to add some sun corals, dendro along with it. BTW, my sump is about 65 gallons. I plan on section off a 18" X 18" area for this setup.

Current - should I add a power head? Currently I am using a Ehiem 1260 as my return pump with 5' head. There is water movement in the sump but not crazy like the DT

Sandbed - I am thinking about 2"

Lighting - A couple of LED moonlight for viewing


TIA
Chi

Hey Chi,

You could keep those corals you mentioned in the sump, just don't forget to feed 'em

It's hard to say if you'll need additional flow; Ensure it's not stagnant and that detrius doesn't settle - if it does you might want to add a powerhead.
