I am thinking about setting up a faux-sandbed SPS nano tank at home. I have some ideas of how I want to do this but I would like suggestions from the members here:
20g tall tank (glass or acrylic)
sand + epoxy mix for creating faux sandbed (0.5 inches)
ASM G1 skimmer with recirc and gate valve mods (or perhaps AquaC Urchin?)
30-40g sump with sock, refugium chamber, and space for skimmer and return pump (any suggestions here?)
Chiller (suggestions perhaps) if fan doesn't do it
150w 10k MH bulb with 1 actinic pc
600 gph return pump (I am thinking about an eheim submersible or a mag drive - or perhaps a single larger pump to drive skimmer and return flow)
kalk auto topoff (suggestions?). I have a ReefRelief setup on my 240g tank.
If anyone here has undertaken such a project please let me know, thanks!
