Hello fellow reefers,
I am setting up a planet aquariums 241 gallon display with a 60 gallon frag a 10 gallon frag and a 60 gallon water change tank. Thinking 50-100 gallon sump. Which would make the total system volume 421 or 471. I’m trying to design the sump now. I know I want a fairly large skimmer section that can also be where the drains are. I would love a large live rock section and then a return pump section. My question is are there any new things to add to the sump? I have been in the hobby 20 years and I feel like my style is kind of old school. Is there any new tech for sumps that you guys and gals have that you cannot live without? I’m trying to design this to be as easy to deal with as possible. My current sump has a filter sock section but I haven’t used it in like 4 years. Are filter socks worth it?
any advice or things you have in your systems that you can’t live without im all ears!!
thanks,
nick
