I have recently set up a 125 to replace my 55 fish only and my 30 reef. I have two seperate overflows so I am using both my sumps one for each overflow. One sump I set up to handle my skimmer and I installed my UV steralizer on the return. I also have about 20lbs of live rock in the sump along with a heater.
The other sump I want to set up as a refugium. I am going to use the main chamber for the refugium itself and place either some river rock or live rock rubble in the flow thru between the chambers to prevent the sand and mud from getting into the secondary chamber. In the secondary chamber I am going to have the pump to get the water back into the main tank. In the main chamber I will place calupra and what ever else I can find along with some live rock. I am going to run the lights on an opposite cycle from the main tank to help keep the PH and Alk balanced.
I was wondering if anyone else had tried a set up like this. I was a little worried about waterflow through the system an I was considering drilling some holes in the top of the wall seperating the chambers to help prevent overflow problems.
Looking for some advise and some input.
Thanks.
