Ok well i finally have some free space where i can upgrade my tank. Thing is that i dont have the money to go too big. Right now I have a 38g. I just bought brand new lights just about 3 weeks ago so i dont want to have to buy new ones again. The tank is 36in long so i am looking for a bigger size tank that is 3 feet long. What availabe size tanks come in the 36 in long foot print. Width and height doesnt matter.
I think they make a 65 that is 36 in. long. I also have a 10g laying around that i would want to make a sump/refugium.
Everything from my 38 will be getting transported into the new tank. What i would do is cycle the new tank with new sand and about 20 lbs or LR and use the old sand for the refugium in the sump. The tank i have now has about 40-45lbs or LR that i would slowly add into the new tank.
How would i go about in setting up the sump. What would i need for an overflow. or would it be better if i got the tank drilled to be reef ready. Can anyone help me out with this. What would i need for return pump.
