The sump tanks are new, cheap at the LFS. I also wanted the option of a good sealed canopy / light for the refugium tank and new makes that easy. Trying to limit noise and evaporation where I can.
Good hints on the feet. I will snoop around a bit. I could tap the steel but also wanted a bit more threads available.
Lighting is the next big ticket item, have to research this a bit.
Return and closed loop pumps are also on the need list. I'm worried about the closed loop pump sizing, can't really turn it up or down if the flow isn't right. I'm going to keep the flow through the sump fairly slow, I'm a believer in giving the LR, slimmer, and media some time to do their jobs. I'm also going to feed the refugium with a separate pump from the raw tank water chamber at about 100 GPH, nice and slow.
