55 gallon acrylic sump/refugium
Mag 18 return pump
40 watt UV sterilizer

Here are some pictures, let me know what you think....

I have not heard back any comments on this thread so I figured I would bump it up again with a question.

I currently have a CustomSealife 175 Wet/Dry that plumbs through to a 55 gallon acrylic sump as mentioned above.

1. I do not think that theh built-in skimmer is working to well, I do not have a lot of smimmate but I think I should even though the tank is not fully established. Anyone had experience with these types of built-in skimmers on a wet dry.

The other question (Maybe Melev can help)

2. That 55 gallon acrylic tank is 49Lx18Tx12W. What would be the best way to divide it in order to get optimal use as a refugium/skimmer base, etc... The pictures above depict the layout.

thanks, -Tom
