sump

First, post and introducing my 90 gallon/12×12gallon sump project. Myself needs eco-friendly plant combinations. Specifically, for the sump and main 90 gallon help is appreciated. Within, the column a little plant specific, nutrient intake, and O2 yield will help classifications and variety.

I have a 250 gallon reef type set up with overflows going into a sump. The sump and tank are completely covered, though not air tight. I've had this tank from my reefing days. The problem is I can't get a pH drop greater than pH= 0.9 and rarely a 1.0 pH drop. I suspect that the overflows could...

Hello forum members. I don't know if this is the right subforum but It seemed the best fit. I converted my 200-gallon reef to freshwater planted. My question is for those with a large tank and sump. Which biological media are you using? Thanks ahead for your input/suggestions.

Has anyone had success with using a stand-alone CO2 reactor in a sump? (versus returning the water to the tank directly) I'm running a 40 gal sump beneath a 130 gal display tank, and I'm diffusing CO2 directly into the display tank using an Atomic ceramic diffuser. For purely aesthetic...

I saw this old post from Tom Barr and I wonder why would you have both filtration systems on the same tank. If anybody has done this or has some info on how or why, I am curious.
