Plumbing Eel Tank with Reef?

[dasstheboss]

Will it affect my water parameters if I plumb a 75G Eel tank/sump/refugium together with a 75G reef? Considering there will be around 130Gs of water, will the dirtyness of the eel still matter? His "chamber" will be right before the skimmer so all waste will be skimmed fast. So is this possible or am i asking for trouble?

It shouldn't be a problem just as long as you have a decent skimmer and keep up with your water changes. Just don't think that "all" of his waste will go through the skimmer so quickly.

Do i havetoworryaboutflowin an eel tank? Considering eels like little flow, or should i still add a powerhead in there or create an drain outlet in there? And just so his nitrates may miss the PS160 Skimmer, i have the fuge right behind the eel section so the nitrates will be taken care off quickly since the fuge will be stocked dense with chaeto.
