I have a 55g DT with a 10g Planted Miraclemud refugium with some mechanical filters(such as bioballs, sock filter)

BTW i plan on having a full reef tank with lots of corals and a small no. of fish.

Water is gravity fed to sump, continues through refugium cycle then pumped through an eheim submersible 3000lph
back to tank, ATM i only have 1 powerhead its a 3000lph propeller type, as i am relying on the water pumped from the eheim in the sump to circulate the other side of the tank.
Atm i am still in the cycling period, DT has about 6kg of live rock already teaming with life (small sponges, feather dusters,lots of pretty colours forming)
