I am thinking of building a sump / refugium ( in order to maintain a good population of copapods for my mandrain and blenny ) current set up is a wet/dry with skimmer and return in sump this is a reef ready tank by the way
was going to have incoming water go into a chamber which would have the skimmer then flow over into another chamber with bio balls then into a chamber which would have live sand a rock ( could put a small light over this area if it is necessary ) and then into the last chamber with the return pump. ( i assume i should take the sponge filter off of the return pump ) questions are is this the correct way to do this meaning the skimmer should come first ? also will the copapods just find there way thru the return pump and into the main tank ( i relize this might be stupid for asking just trying to make this sump right the first time thanks for any and all input
