I am seting up a 125gal tank.....it is not predrillled....I'd like to do a sump (maybe a fuge also) but have a few questions....I was looking into the CPR CS100 overflow box to get the water into the sump.
I looked into the CPR CY194 and still may get it. If I build one myself, does the intake tube need to be submerged in the sump water (in regards to siphon pressure) or does simple flowing into the sump from above keep the "vacuum"? What would be a good return pump? One that is adjustable would be great....I have a couple of Fluval 404's and a Rena XP2 from this tank (when it was freshwater)....can they be utilized safely in any of this? Does the whole skimmer sit in the sump or is there a tube in the sump feeding the skimmer?
If I wanted to do a refugium also, would it be better to go to a separate container? If so, how could that be done?
Are the CPR wet/dry/sump/skimmer products worth it or would it be better to do a DIY sump with a separate skimmer?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
