For years I've been wanting to get a larger/better sump on my 235. I've finally got the ok to build one which is going to be a huge project. I've been looking over a wide variety of designs over the past few days and came up with a basic mock up.
To explain, i wanted to utilize as much of the tank footprint as possible however the stand does not permit me to slide a sump in through the side so I opted to build it in two pieces and put the pump in the center pulling from both sides. That way I won't have a fit problem because they can be placed under the tank individually then attached via pipe. One side will be a refugium and the other for equipment and each overflow box will drop into their respective sides. I am wondering if I need filter socks on the refugium side though (please let me know your thoughts on this too).
Like I said this is a basic drawing I wouldn't be surprised if I forgotten something but you guys be the judge.
Thanks in advance.
