Ordered an overflow, pump and RO unit earlier this week. Hope to get the tank to better health.
Well, got my pump today. Smaller than I thought. Put it in the DT and it REALLY blew everything around. Incredible, but that's what 1300 GPH will do out of a small outlet. Started planning my sump setup.
Stuck going with a 10 gallon sump/fuge since bigger won't fit. But, I think I can make do. I figured out a way to still get 5+ gallons in there for the fuge itself. A lot of people seem to not even be able to get that much with a 29 gallon!
Can't wait for the Ro unit. I can't stand trying to find a place to get pure water. Seems like purified water isn't so purified these days. Plus lugging 5 gallon jugs around in a Trans Am is not easy.
I have no idea where to hook it up to though... that's my biggest concern. This is a rented house so no permanent setups, plus I'm only here for another 15 months or so...
Ah, the joys of reefkeeping. I use the term "reef" VERY loosely in my situation.
For my records:
Build me a refuge/sump!
