ok guys, so heres what im thinking.
i have a 150gal display tank with a 33gal wet(only) sump doing only bio filtration, and im wanting to add on a fuge to it.
here are a few pics of my set(old pic but you get the idea) up so everyone knows what im talking about, one of which is a quick (paint) of the set up as i will be useing this is show my plans on the addition of the fuge
ok so heres what i plan to do
as you can see im going to be useing the same sort of set up except i will be going from the main tank to the fuge, to the sump then back to the tank.
the fuge will be elevated slightly higher than the sump as i will be drilling the tank to fit a 3/4inch bulkhead so that the fuge overflows into the sump.
the input to the fuge will have a filter sock to catch any debris that my other filters(ac110 and rena XP4) dont pick up
i have talked about this for a while now and many people have told me i should put the fuge in line after the sump.
but i have chose to do it this way in hope to keep my sump a little cleaner and not worry about as much build up in my pot scrubbies and bio balls
of course i will still have a small filter sock cleaning the water that is coming from the fuge to the sump anyways.
any input would be greatly appretiated as i will be starting my project in the next week or so
