Shao, why not put this sump photo into the March Sump Photo contest? You have a good chance of winning. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Too bad about that small clam. It had excellent colors.

Could you tell me what the refugium has in it? I see Xenia, and don't know what else. My refugium has Caulerpa, and some Halimeda. Is the Xenia better??

Do you have 2 different kinds of xenia?

yup, i have 2 kinds of xenia. and a couple polyps of fiji pom pom (thanks marc ;) )

i dont know if xenia is a better nutrient export than algae, but i just have it in the refugium cuz xenias are one of my favorite corals, but i dont want that much of it in my display tank.

as for the sump, i have a 90 breeder that is split into 3 sections: the feed from the overflow and skimmer, the refugium, and the floatvalve and return pumps.

i use a turboflotor 1000 for the skimmer.

and a mag12 and 2 eheim pumps for the return. but i think i will replace the mag 12 with a mag24 and use the mag12 for a closed loop. i want alot more flow in the tank :D
