Hi everyone,
I have a 40 breeder bare bottom mixed reef running steady for about a yr. No real Complaints anymore. I run 3 lights (2 ai prime 16hd and a radion xr 15 g4. 1 of those gyres (I believe it's spelled). A Tidal 55 hob filter. As shown in the picture, I also have a 5.5 gallon below that's just used to store coral that I'm planning to give away (I have way too many corals in my tank). I was thinking of turning it into a sump by buying one of those hob overflow boxes and pipes to turn that 5.5 into a sump without drilling. Any tips and would it take a long time? I'm going away for a week in 3 months and would like to have this set up by the end of June to make sure the tank can be on its own for a week.
