Heres a few pics of what ive got going on, 6 month old 55 gallon

Built it all myself started out with a 20L. The only bubbles i get are the ones i use for oxygenating when it comes in from the overlflow.. no bubbles into the fuge, or return, and the filter on the return does a great job of trapping anything so nothing gets pumped through into the main...

purple primer and heavy duty pvc glue is ok .. BUT you need to let them cure before running water through them and do not get any into the fuge or display.

return going into tank acting as extra power head. you can use it as a spraybar if you wish too.

20 gallon long

you dont need much light at all id go to a home improvement store and pick up a small florecent set up for $8 . like a 15-20 watt

Theres quite a few post here dealing with rubbermade sumps/refugiums... id recomend doing a search and use the words rubbermaid and sump id stay clear of a lot of the filter media though as bio balls and high micron filters catch a lot of the materials that corals need .

Well the coral is up and doing great .. its brown in color and spot feeding well. must have been some major bleaching when i picked him up at the lfs.

Id say go with a 10 gallon the price difference is pocket change and it gives the fish a little more room. Get a couple pieces of pvp for them to hide in as well, making them comfortable is important. For my 55 gallon(and 20 gallon sump/refugium) Cleaning crew consist of..... 12 bummblebee...

Very nice tank you got there. Its a thing of beauty. Thanx for sharing .

I stuck mine in various places 2 of them i set on the substrate and 2 i put between liverocks. youll go through about a month of them tipping over now and then.. just upright them and evebtually they will attach themselves.

It depends on the quality of your water. I started out doing 10% water changes because every water change you do adds calcium and various essencial trace elements to your tank . once you get everything at optimal lvls you can do a 25% change once a month unless something changes.
