I have a dogface pufferfish in a 90 gallon aquarium in clean water - and at night and in the morning he just lays in the live rock like this...is that normal or is there something wrong?? He's very dramatic.

I got a huge pump for free, a skimmer for $60, a uv sterelizer for $100 and I just traded my 75 gallon aquarium that I got for $50 for a 75 gal. with all the baffles already built...it has an intake chamber, then the bubble trap, then a 30" refugium, and then the outtake chamber which will have...

Thank you yogurt_21 : )

Not really amazing deals from what I've been seeing...I found complete 140 gallon saltwater reefs with fish and live rock and rare corals for $400...same with 90 gallon reefs with everything.

come on guys....info please? : /

I was wondering: -how much live rock you put in a sump - if I should have a separate chamber for my live rock and protein skimmer like in the image below - if I need an separate intake chamber in the far right corner in the back (Or could/should I just put in the live rock around the...

The sump is 75 gallons. The aquarium is 90 gallons.

Or is this better????? Or does it not matter if the live rock is with the skimmer in the same chamber?? Should the teeth go on bother sides??

How does this look?? Any Suggestions??? I have a big enough tank to have a huge refugium....what do you put in it? Benefits?

Yes, the water will enter in where the live rock is. You say I can turn the middle section into a refugium? In the same section as the protein skimmer or should i divide the middle part and put the refugium in before or after the skimmer?

Are there any HUGE benefits in designing a sump like this with the live rock and bubble trap???? If not...I am just going to have the skimmer in there without any separate areas....and not waste my time and money. Let me know : )

Yes it does...thanks!

So I could build an overflow box to get the water in the sump and then use the pump you gave me to get the water out of the sump??? And then the skimmer pumps the water in from the bottom of the sump and then is a tube connected to the skimmer? What's the grey thing? is that where the water...

don't get how I'm supposed to hook any of it up. At all. I don't get how the water is going to get in the tank or out of the tank. Is the pump supposed to be a return pump and then I have to build an overflow? Is that the only way? I don't get how a skimmer or UV works at all in a sump. I...

I don't understand how to install the skimmer and sterilizer. are they connected? Don't get it.

I don't get it.... The water is pumped into the aquarium........... does the water go into the skimmer then the uv sterelizer then back to the aquarium?

Can I put my huge skimmer (meant for a 240 gal tank) and 40W UV sterilizer in my 25 gallon tank or should I use my 75gal. for my sump????????????????????????????

Thanks...I am getting a 40 watt uv sterelizer for $100 and a skimmer made for a 240 tank for $60. Found Good Deal! Thanks : )

Would having a protein skimmer and uv sterilizer that is meant for a 240 gallon tank run on a 90 gallon tank be bad overkill?

Yeah, I would NEVER pay for this: The estimate at my pet shop: -Sealife Refuigum 300 Sump System: $399 -Eheim Return Pump: $159 -VS 135 Protein Skimmer: $349 -Plumbing Kit: $49 -Installation and Delivery: $850
