Hey guys,
i've got a 75 gallon tank with ~30gal sump. In the sump i have the skimmer in the first chamber, made a small fuge in the middle chamber, and my return in the third. I'm picking up a 55gal tank for pretty cheap and i'm not sure what my best option is to do with it. I have my mix bucket in the basement with a mag 7 to bring it up to the display tank, and i'll have no problem plumbing the overflow from the display down to the new tank in the basement.
But i'm just unsure if i should set this up in the basement and act as a huge refugium and fill it with sand, rock and macro algae. I'd like the possibility of using it as a frag tank as i'm going to build LED's for my display and can move the t5's to this new tank. But if i do that what should i do with my current sump. Is there a way to include the sump plus the new tank?
