Hey all,
I have an existing 90 gallon tank and it seems to do ok but I'm not sure I'm cut out for all the corals and maintenance time etc. What I did know was that I wanted a bigger tank so I have some exciting new challenges coming up.
So I purchased another aquarium setup. This one is acrylic, 150 gallons, and currently sitting in my barn. I'd like to start prepping it though, so here's my first question.
I see a lot of people with some really nice setups underneath in terms of valves, PVC tubing etc. I'd like to do something similar to reduce leaks, segment / turn off flow, etc. Thoughts? Good idea? Nightmare?
Second, this sump has a refugium setup and I've never attempted one of those before. Where can I go for a how to on refugiums? Is that something I can set up now and let it break in? I'm guessing not because I won't be able to move it later due to weight?
