OK, so I have had a 55 tank for a while and have been slowly building up to adding a sump tank to it. I built a platform in my water production area of my basement under my office. I ran the lines for the overflow and return down to a 40 ga. tank which I put baffles in.
I have a Skimmer on order (Marineland Pro 100) and have 10 lbs. of dry rock rubble. The pump is a 1000 GPH and the overflow is 600 GPH with a height of around 10'.
So far:
So.. my questions:
First, does anything jump out as an issue? No water in it yet so I can fix almost anything.
Second, having dry rock seeded with live rock will keep my system from cycling right? Will I need to seed it directly in the rubble or will the flow from the DT with LR in it suffice?
What about "Miracle Mud"? Would that cause a cycle? Would you recommend such a product in the refugium or just live sand?
I know there's more I can't think of right now, but this should be good to start with!
