we're turning our 55gal into saltwater.
I've got a 20 gallon long glass tank that i want to use as a sump, but i dont really know where to begin. I've looked around and done some searching through this website, but i feel like I really need a walkthrough.
here's what i've got so far:
use a powerhead to pump the water from the tank to the 20gal.
separate the 20 gal into several compartments (3?)
in the 3rd compartment, put a pump to push the water back up to the tank.
now.. what do i put in the compartments?
does it need a cover?
how do i make sure that the water doesn't flood my apartment if the power cuts off or if something goes wrong?
we're planning on this being a FO tank, if that helps.
