Thanks for the advice toejam.
I chesked out the website you suggested, and just got even more confused lol
I am pritty new to all this sump/fudge setup stuff.
What is the differance between the 2
all the sump sutups i have seen seem to be complicated labrinths of glass and pipework.
unfortunatly the lfs in my area dont really specialise in marine settups at all
and there are only 2 to choose from. neather have any corals just fish.
lucky for me i can get all the coral and live rock i want. from local reefs.
without much help, and very little computer skills i am going it alone on my first big settup. I currantly have a 55 gall settup with a fluval 305 filter, and a JEBO 180 Skimmer. It has been going for almost 3 years now. Although i havent had a great deal of success with the hard corals, soft corals seem to do ok as do the fish.
I was building my sump to sort of emulate my fluval. by pushing water through several chambers, all containing differant filter medias.
I am working on the theroy that enough is never enough. Max filtration will not hurt,
although i still know that nuthing can replace regular water changes.
i want to keep my new system as simple as possable, so anyone will understand, with a glance how it all works. also it needs to be transportrable, as i live in rented accomadation 1200ltr settup on wheels. yes it can be done, the wheels cost me $130 each and are rated to 500kg x4 = 2 ton.
the stand wich is at the cabnet makers now cost me $400 in steel to build, and i built it myself. $700 for the cabnet around the frame. I will post pictures of the build soon, i just want to get it all into place so i can
give the full story.
