Hello Everyone!
Just some background, (I posted in the “new to saltwater” forum a few weeks ago..) I am coming back to saltwater after about 10 years. I’m moving into a new house this week, and have decided to set up my first tank in a long time! I am planning a 75 gallon reef tank.
There is so many new things in the hobby since then, so I am learning!
This will be my first time setting up a sump on my own, and I need some help.
I have chosen the Trigger System Emerald Green 26 inch Sump. I want to set up a simple overflow box, simple, most efficient and effective setup in my sump. I have ready a lot about the pros to using PVC (if anyone has any input there, I would love to hear it.)
Before I start ordering, I wanted to ask...
1. What overflow box would you suggest for my 75 gal tank, and what return pump do you suggest?
2. I plan on putting my Protien skimmer and heaters in my sump. But I’m completely lost on what filtration media is best in my sump. Can someone walk me through this?
3. If anyone has any tips or tricks or just plain advice for plumbing, I’m all ears. Better yet, if someone lives in Nashville and is interested in helping... I’m all ears haha
4. If anyone wants a list of my equipment list (if it will help) let me know!
Thank you all so much!
So excited to start a build thread once i get this buddy up and going
