Re: and just to think ......
i think the sump will be a great addition to your tank ray... cause you have limited space on top for equipment...matt is building his own ..he could give you more info..probably is cheaper that way too..make some homework about it..read...that way you could save some bucks too, so you dont buy unnecessary stuff...good luck ..keep us updated..

Re: and just to think ......
Ray,
Your idea with the 10 gallon tank would work.You could also make a filter media rack out of some PVC and egg crete.Then add the CSS 65 and your emperor.You could basicly take everything but your powerheads out the tank. JUst make sure you get a return pump that will keep up the flow rate of the overflow.

Re: and just to think ......
Ray,Buddy.
You draw up the plans,and we'll pick em apart  A plus to a sump,is that you get rid of the  hangging on back of your tank,and it makes it easier to do maintance,plus it adds water volume.Current Aquarium(s) Description: 75gal. reef,NE T-5s 432 watt ,CSS65 skimmer,Pro-Clear 125 wet/dry with mag5 return Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: Little over a year Other Intrests: Hunting,camping,fishing

Re: and just to think ......
What I did in my tank, so that I wouldn't put back pressure on the return pump, is have a T coming from the return pump with a ball valve on both pipes. One pipe goes to the main tank, the other goes right back to the sump, so that you can adjust how much flow gets to the main tank, by redirecting it back to the sump.
