![]() I have some Dis drawings I could send you of the one I am building.
You need to decide some stuff first, simmer (what skimmer), fuge or not, return pump internal or external? Mine has spce for a CSS 3000, a small fuge and return baffles ofr an internal pump. |

![]() I'd like to do it the easiest way possible. There isn't much room below my tank in my stand...only a couple extra inches around the tank. I have a SeaClone 100 skimmer which I'll just transfer into the sump. I'd like to have a refugium in there because I've only ever heard great things about adding one of those. I'd probably look into the same setup you said.
Also I need to treat the inside of my stand to help protect it from evaporation. What sort of treatment should I use?

![]() Even before the sump, you need to decide how you are going to get water down to it.
External or internal overflow? (ie drill your tank or not?) |

![]() I think because I'm already using the tank and it is fairly established I would have to do some sort of external overflow wouldn't I?

![]() Can I buy an external overflow from somewhere? Are they expensive?
