Dividing up a sump

Last question... where would you put the AquaClear? Inlet would make sense to me.

Also, it would make sense to me that the only area that would have evaporation would be the return pump area. Right?
 
Inlet or return, if in the return you will more than likely have micro bubbles but if you need filter media micrto bubbles should be last on the list of worries
 
Ok... last question. Alright, maybe not last... I'm just trying to wrap it up and get all the items lined up.

Lighting. Would I be looking to get this:

CD-14064 Marine 24" $50.99

I'd also get the mounting legs (I assume):

As for the filter media. You know, I really just like chemical filtration sometimes. It's something that just allows me to rest at night. :)
 
To light the tank or the sump, if the sump that would ROCK, for the tank it's not enough!!
 
Oh- of course. I have a those same lights for my tank... different size of course. It spans the entire tank.

I'm looking at that just for the sump/fuge.
 
Hate to intrude, but I have a question about sumps. They seem so intimidating lol. Anyways, what happens when the power goes out? I have heard people say that it can overflow. How does this happen and how can you prevent it?
 
Well if you don't run your sump at a full capacity and you drill a small hole in the return line just below the water level you will never have to worry.

So... drill a hole in the pipe that goes from the pump in the middle section to the tank?
 
Drill a small hole in the pipe that goes from your return pump into the tank, be sure you drill it just below the water level in the main tank.
 
I don't understand. Sorry, I am very, very slow when it comes to things like this.
