  1. I use the sump in the fresh to get the bugs worked out I can chuck another halide or 2 in there, 4 halides @ 150w to get good spread? Ill insulate the base to retain heat and sound. Half the base used as a sump? 750mm long Do most skimmers sit in the sumps or to the side? Room for a Calcium reactor?
  2. I have 4 soooo.... either a huge mofo tank or sell a few and get a smaller freshwater Id say it would be the large tank option :-? as i think they are one of the best freshwater fish we have over here But that will be next year hopefully, also depends on how fast they grow May chuck them in my 220L native if the native doesnt work out this year and advance the marine plans Getting a co2 bottle for the big tank 8) 70-100L sump? :lol:
  3. Im building a new tank for my freshwater Datnoids I want to turn it into a saltwater tank next year It will have 2x 150w metal halides Plan on getting rid of my fx5 and building a huge sump and a over flow box Tank will be 1.5m x .5 x .5 Will be making stand and lid out of ply and sealing it Any thing else that im missing or need to change?
