Sump/refugium setup

pontiac2002gtp · 03/14/2008, 12:01 PM

I'm in the process of getting either a 120 or a 180 gallon tank and i want to turn my current 90 gallon tank into my sump/refugium but im not sure hot to set all the baffles and just what i need? What size kind and size of pump ive never worked with an overflow system before. I am going to be replacing the skimmer any ideas there. I'm on a limited budget so best bang for the buck.
thanks phil

I'm sure it was just a typo, but its Melev, though he is right on it being a good place for research. Here is a link to the site.

Melev's

As far as your skimmer goes, I would vote for an Octopus or ASM skimmer. They work very well with a couple of mods done to them. I have an Octopus myself.
