need a sump

[sir_dudeguy]

so what all do you have in that sump? just a skimmer? and what kinda skimmer?..a pic would be cool to if you got one...

i would prolly like to do a fuge in it too i guess, so i would need a bigger tank than a 10...so if anyones' got something bigger, let me know....its pretty roomy in the stand, but there's a center brace in front and each gap is only 10 inches wide...by 32 tall i think..so anything i get will have to go in thru the back, and then just hope that nothing goes wrong where i would have to take it out...

lmk..

I will hold the skimmer until you are ready. Yes it will just leak into the sump. Its not much and it only does it once in a while.

rljlll- I have a 18g tank at my Petco in Mesa. I can't remember the price, but if you call me at work tomarrow I will let you know. The store is next to Fiesta Mall. 480-834-9088 just ask for Jay.

ya i know it'll be more volume..but i could actually keep more fish in the display even tho theres still the same amount of wter in there? i know that it would help as far as waste by fish making hte trates and stuff go up...

ok thanks jay!..now i just gotta find a tank to use as a sump...anyone got one? (i know everyone comes on here late at night!)

 

[rljlll]

but the bigger water volume the less fluxs in levels well not less but it goes slower so less stress on fish and corals i use to keep the skimmer insump but i just pulled it out i am making room for a phosban reactor but i keep probes two pumps one for return one for fuge a heater and i think that is pretty much it

 

[sir_dudeguy]

ya true true...but lets say i get a 30 gal sump...this wouldnt allow me to have something like a yellow tang (not that i want one really) or something similar would it? i would think not, because they need lots of room to swimm...correct?

 

[sir_dudeguy]

so does anyone have an old tank they dont want? i'd rather not use a rubbermaid..being able to see thru the thing really helps for me to figure out what goes where..
