I want to convert my 55 G FW into a SW and use my 10G SW as a sump. But I would like to avoid having to drill my sump. Does anyone hav any suggestions on how to go about it? I am planning on having there the skimmer, the heater and some refugium with algae for extra filtration.
1-Do i really need to setup chambers in the sump?
2-If yes, what do i put in each chamber?
3-do i need some kind of prefilter on the return pump?
4-how many GPH should the return pump be?
5-when water goes back to the display tank, should i set up some kind of plumbing and use that to create circulation or do i need separate pumps for that purpose?
thanks!!
