I operate a 6 foot 180 gallon reef with large fish I have a 2 little giant pumps 1 at 1000 gph thur one stand pipe the other 1200 thru the other. I have a dual airstone protein skimmer, at 25w uv, chiller and cal reactor. I use 720 watts of lighting.Currently the sump has dual drains is 30gal with no bioballs to house 2mags and the heater and chiller probe. 1 mag for the uv and chiller the other for the skimmer. There are 3 bulkheads 1 for the little giant 3mdscq 1 for the 4mdscq and 1 for the skimmer return which drains to the back of the sump with an extender hose to rid of bubbles. I bought a extended refugium it the 30 made to 36 with the hope of using this extra space to suck system water to feed the display tank.
My next thought would be I still need a sump but not as large . How can I make this work? Anyone ever try this refugium?attached photos
