Welcome to 3reef!! That sounds like a nice tank. Make sure you don't add anymore fish.
What kind of filtration do you have?

Yeah that was all the fish I was going to add. Currently I just have the stock filtration: Activated carbon cartridge and a biowheel. I want to add a sump but not really to sure the best way. I dont want to drill the tank or do anything to major. I was looking at a HOB filter/fuge or maybe a siphon overflow weir thing.

Welcome to 3 Reef!!!! Great site with great people. Everybody is always ready to help. How often are you doing water changes on the 12g. Just curious.

Hey Corebond Welcome. Glad you found us.

it would be cool to add a sump to a 12G. You could make it like 20G and make a fuge. I would prob go with a C-syphon but it may be too big.
