Currently planning my 300 l planted tank....it will be approx 48 x 24 x 22. I was thinking about going along the sump route...ive had sumps in the past with reef aquariums and i've onlt ever found positives from them apart from the initial installation.
Does anyone run one on here ?...i would have the tank drilled which would then go into a 3 foot partitioned sump.
Section 1 would be bioballs (flocor, alphagrog floss etc)
section 2 would possibly be a refugium....sand/soil substrate which is lit with T8's and planted up. Shrimps can be kept in there and possibly left to breed.
Section 3 would be the return pump (pond pump maybe) plus all the other equipment. I don't know whether the CO2 could be injected nect to the return pump so it gets sucked in and returned back to the main tank.
What do you think ?...there's very little maintenance involved with sumps except topping up evaporation.
Your comments are welcome
