Fish room super sump ideas?

Are you talking about big plastic drums? You-brew places often sell those.

Waw I have to admit that's impressive. It looks like you're performing brain surgery. If only I knew enough to set up a basic 75g tank

What do you guys think of having one rubbermaid through just for rubble/remote deep sand bed and a ATS? Even with my biopellets.

DSB are more trouble than they're worth in my opinion. Most of us set them up wrong and then end up with H2S problems as a result. The more liverock and water volume you can fit the better. However at some point you do hit diminishing marginal returns (my economics prof would be proud). I guess I'm falling behind in the lingo... what is ATS?

algae turf scrubber. I hear they are good for pods and good for removing nitrates.

Ah that's why I didn't recognize it. It would be kind of cool to see it done on a private tank. I've only read about them being used on some large public aquariums. I'm personally more fond of an over sized skimmer for getting rid of Nitrate and GFO + macro algae for Phosphate. Have you budgeted space in your fish room for a fragging station and a laundry room style sink?

This fish room will be outside so I cant really run a water line into it easily for a sink. What are you thinking for a fagging station?
