No real updates to post, the tank has finally settled down and seems to be doing well, I have my first SPS's in green birdsnest, pink and green monti digi, purple monti, pink gonipora and some porite hitchhikers. I have about 12 kinds of zoas, don't know the names sorry. A few leather corals and some LPS. I can take some pics of the sump if you like it is made from a 20 gallon high tank. I split it into 3 compartments. The first holds the return from the tank. I used PVC to split the return into a upside down "T" then have each end of the "T"going into a filter sock. cuts down nicely on the noise doing this. I used 3 pieces of glass to make a bubble trap at this point. The center compartment holds the return pump (quiet one 4000-I think a quiet one 5000 would be a better choice) and heaters. The third division is my refugium. I used a perforated piece of acrylic to make a weir on the top of the glass to filter out the cheato. The fuge is fed by a splitter going from the return line. I control it with a ball valve so I do not have huge flow going through it. If I were to build it again I would have made the fuge bigger maybe 50% of the sump instead of one third.
I will post some picture this week if you like, can't do it today sorry.
