| Thanks you two.
I did think seriously about a sump and wanted to drill the tank to accomodate for more flow. However, I may just go with a hang on back filter to use as a fuge and to hide the heater. While I would like to drill and install a sump, I just don't think Ang will hear of it!
I am thinking about using the undergravel filter as a plenum to help with denitrification, but I am on the fence about it. I really only plan on having one or two small fish and a handfull of inverts, so I wonder if it is even neccessary.
As for the hurricanes, I may add a small UPS system to power the powerheads in the tank. This should keep things going for a while. And if all else fails, my in-laws are installing a whole-house generator in their new home only three miles away.
By the way, if anyone has info on any native Florida coral for sale post a link here! |
