Oh ok so the glass you glue in is supposed to be shorter than the tank

It would have to be a hang on overflow and I'm still confused on the sump though cause if you glue panels in it how would the water flow through it?

So I should use urchins and sea cucumbers as my clean up crew? And the trigger doesn't go after other fish it's own size does it?

What about the crabs and snails would they eat them?

Wait so if I do the sump I don't need the HOB filters at all? And what would the fish I want eat cleaner shrimp?

I don't think I'm going to get the lionfish since he won't get along with the trigger. So would the others eat the "clean up crew"?

Well I think I'm gonna start with the two HOBs and a 40 or 45 gallon sump and some live rock and sand and macroalgae and then add protein skimmerds, powerheads, carbon reactors and all that other good stuff as I add in the fish does that sound acceptable? And by crab do you mean like a live crab?

Since everyone is suggesting using macroalgae is that something you can buy or do just wait for it to grow on it's own? And what's a good amount of live rock and sand to use?

And just to make sure there's no way to keep the trigger and the lionfish without them fighting

Its alright I want as much information as I can get cause I know pretty much nothing about keeping saltwater fish but I'll have head over to the DIY forums and get that sump built but everything but the filters can go in sump right?

Well what would be good to put in a sump to get as much as I can out of it

if you keep the eel well feed at a minummum of once a day your trigger will be pritty relaxed, but if you under feed the eel he will kill every one. :))):   for my 10 incher i feed a whole cube of squid every day. Good to know I'll be sure to keep him nice and fat.

Alright and I'm still lost as to how you set up a sump I know you put glass walls in it but what else goes into a good sump?

The pods and worms won't make the fish sick or anything will they?

Out of the fish I have listed which one would be the least aggressive? And about the sump how do you set one up? And what is miracle mud?

What are pods and bristtle worm are they good? And if the HOB filters and a sump would work for the 3 of them then I'll do that with the protein skimmer and power heads

Is there any particular sand I need from I've read I need live sand or agronite not sure if I spelt that right?

So the tang and eel will be ok together? And what of I picked either the trigger or the lion would that work?

I have two HOB filters and lots of live plants that help filter but isnt live rock and sand the saltwater equivalent of live plants? And about the sump how would I go about making one and would a 40 or 45 gallon tank work cause I can't fit a 70 in my stand I also have air stone and pump can that...

And instead of an algae scrapper can I use a UV sterilizer?
