Yes It's true, I'm back .This forum seems a little dead.. Did everyone go to a different forum? Like the frag swapper is no longer being used, the reef trader is. Speaking of reef trader I tried to register and they said they would send a confirmation e mail but never did; now when I try and do it again it says my email and name are already used?? So I guess I'm screwed..
.. I'm starting up a 90 gal tank, and will be doing the Triton Method .I also decided to make a custom acrylic sump with large refugium area as required for the Triton system, I don't think I'll be doing a whole build type thread .But will post progress here, comments questions advice all welcome, here's some pics of what I got so far.
Having trouble posting pics right now I will try again tonight

No and NO lol. I'll be doing both .
In fact lets build a sump boys and girls : )
I made it similar to the trigger triton 44" sump.
ordered all the acrylic from House of plastics downtown.
it took a couple of evenings. waiting on some fittings.
rock is still curing.. moving along
FYI BRS has a big black Friday sale going on right now
the trigger sump sell's for 50l0+ I spent 200 for the colored stuff and had them cut it to size, I could have made it for about 100 in all clear and cut them myself.

lol yeah theres some awesome looking triton tanks. I like to stick with simple tried and true water changes, refugiums don't always hold there weight. one thing less to maintain i guess! hahahah
 
I guess will see.. I'm putting a kessil H380 on the refuge. If you haven't seen that light in person, all I can say is OMG..
