New dimension for new sump is: 700(L) x 380(W) x 330

I whould like to have a chamber with filter wool before the DSB and a skimmer in first chamber and some Chaeoto somewere,how whould you say must a make my chambers???

i'll keep you posted with progress and pic's.

I want to build the sump with glass, i'll buy the cutted glass tommorow.
What tools will i need to build the sump?
 
Tom... i'm going to see if it leaks.
What must i use for the dsb?
I want to do 5 cm of arganite and then 10cm of crushed coral.
 
I would skip the crushed coral and go with all aragonite, if you are going to to a DSB. The crushed coral often leads to water quality problems because crap gets trapped in it.
 
No, thats the crap I used, and wish I wouldnt have. If were thinking of the same thing... They didnt sell live sand in smaller potions, all they had were 15 or 20 lb bags at the LFS, so i got a 5 lb bag of that fake crap sand, and I want to replace it.
