So I'm in the process of redoing the stand and sump for my 75, I wanna get everything ready so when the new stand comes I can just swap it all out. I currently have a 29 gallon with a sump setup Skimmer->Fuge->Return. The only problem I have with this is that my flow through the Fuge is too fast and the baffles are too high to get water flow through the whole thing.
So I think I'm going to go back to Skimmer->Return->Fuge and split the drain to each side and use a 40 breeder. My bubble king needs I believe a 9-11" operating water height so that'll kinda set my baffle height on the skimmer side, but on the fuge side you think 7 or 8" will be ok? Also is anybody running a Fuge with no sand? I like the chaeto and mine seems to grow like a weed but do I need the sand? Seems kinda messy and having to replace it or clean it every so often is kind of a pain too.
Thanks guys!
