I am interested in building a sump/fuge tank for a 55g sw tank
I have a 15 gal tank i can use for the sump/fuge but an not sure if it is adaquate enough for the job.
I am also not sure what size pump i will need, I do have a 1,000gph pump at this time if i can use that, it would be great.
I also do not know how i need to set the baffles up in the 15gal if useable?
Thanks for any help or info , I have been searching the fourm but not but directed to exactly building a sump/fuge tank.

I was thinking about getting C.L. SS 65, Mag 7 or 9 and LifeReef 700 Box. I'm starting a new tank (54 Corner) this week, all I have right now is the glass.
Thanks for all the help!

Here are a few pictures of my 54gal corner reef. It has only been set up for 3 months. You can see how crowded it is underneath the tank. I hope I can get rid of some that stuff when I get my fuge going. I would like you to critique it and let me know what I should add next.
My camera sucks so I'm sorry about the quality of the pictures. I have a 10k 150w MH. I have a new 14k bulb on the way. I can't wait to get it.
