As the time nears for me to get a tank (i'm setting up a 125 for my brother while I do my 50-75 gallon at the same time) I'm wondering about the sump. Tank -> sump with bioballs submerged ( to act like LR ) -> skimmer (DC will be in this area too) -> UV -> Fuge -> baffles (filled with bioballs [ to act like LR ] ) -> Tank. Is the UV filter a good idea? I figure if it does kill some good microbes, the Fuge should replenish them. Is the general design good? I have my fuge design in this thread here http://www.3reef.com/cgi-bin/yabb/Ya...num=1091405856 _________ 125RR corner overflows&&3 400w MH lights&&AquaC EV180 with a Mag 7&&30 gallon sump with a Mag18&&30 gallon surge tank fuge with 2 revolutions&&Won Pro Heat 350W&&&&the LAZY system powered by a Mag18&&- Coiled Denitratfier&&- Coralife 18W UV&&- phosphate remover&&- calc reactor
