That depends on if you plan to have a sump or refugium in the stand. If you do then you would want to look for a tank that has a drilled in overflow but if you can't find one then a HOB overflow works fine too, I would suggest a sump or refugium if you weren't thinking about having one.Anything specifique I should look for in a tank?

If I don't need any other filtration apart from the protein skimmer why would I need a sump?That depends on if you plan to have a sump or refugium in the stand.

Because a sump is just another form of filtration that some people like to have, I don't have a sump myself but I do have a refugium and it's a big help when it comes to housing live pods, keeping my nitrates down and keeping nuisance algae out of my tank.If I don't need any other filtration apart from the protein skimmer why would I need a sump?

Ok thanks I just did research on it and it takes the phosphates and nitrates out. What kind of media do you have in yours?Because a sump is just another form of filtration that some people like to have, I don't have a sump myself but I do have a refugium and it's a big help when it comes to housing live pods, keeping my nitrates down and keeping nuisance algae out of my tank.

Hi ckdrummer, mind if i ask a question pertaining to chaeto?
So about how much do you think it would take to get 5ppm nitrates out of the water in a narrow space using a crappy low wattage ebay led light? Wattage is variable, it depends what i can get away with but was hoping 5-10 watts, will go as much as 20 watts. Also, they can be on 24 hours if needed.

I'm not certain on how much it will take out, all I know is that eventually it will level out your phosphate and nitrate. And for the light, it doesnt really matter how much it grows but the fact that its in there and alive will help your tank but I use a 65 watt bulb in a lamp that I think was used for a reptile cage and it works great.Hi ckdrummer, mind if i ask a question pertaining to chaeto?
