I'm looking to move my filtration from a small chamber in my tank hood to a proper sump. This will also free the hood to put on some proper lighting units. I also want to put my heater in the sump as well. And, I would also like the sump to give me another 10 gallons of water volume. I have started the build phase by ordering a drop box and it should be here next week it is a small 300GPH which should be a decent enough size for my little up and coming reef tank. I plan to convert an aquarium for the sump. So some questions:
Do i do a chamber of bioballs, then a refugium chamber, then a place for skimmer and pump? Do i really need a skimmer for a 30gallon tank or even a refugium for that matter? I am keen to do whatever is needed to ensure my tank is healthy. I'm also having trouble finding some solid plans online. Thanks for any advice!
