measure the area to the right and call Glasscages.com - Home to have a tank made to fit that area, the tank must be higher than the sump, gravity drain into sump.
i doctored your pic to get a closer look, heres a pic of mine. the line from the chiller feeds the fuge with a T to control the flow into the fuge the rest gets dumped into the sump. the fuge drains by gravity into the sump.
or redu the entire under area of the tank and have glasscages make two tanks for ya, both the same size to fit the area. since it seems the tank that is there now is quite large in comparison the area its in.
what are the measurements of the space under the tank? | The space is roughly a 16" X 16". To be very honest, the main reason Im considering a refug, is to help raise my PH. My NO3's are under control at 5-10ppm and I found out what was keeping NO3 at 20ppm. Do you think if I just put a light over the sump, will that help with ph? Or will that cause more harm than good? _________ 9YR OLD 90G/55g custom sump/refug Mag18 Aquac 180skimmer 692w MH AC jr,yel&kole tang,midas&convict blenny,B&G chromies,Blk/yel fin chromie blackcap,nemo,neon goby,6line; Blastomussa Merleti,Acan ,BUBBLE,Torch,LTA, Acropora(2) Moon, assort zoas, yel& G star polyps, P&B ricordia, montiporas, cup&candy corals, xenias,B/G mush,flower ane(2), cherry red mussa, dusters,cleaning crew..  |
