I don't work for anybody
As I make my plans for my new tank (thanks to the upcoming economic stimulus package from the gov't) I wanted to clarify how I can use the volume of my sump to my advantage in keeping fish.
As I understand it, sump volume is added to the DT volume and can be counted in as total volume for inches of fish. For example, a 55 gallon sump would increase my bioload capacity by another 10 inches or so. Am I correct in my thinking, provided filtration and live rock was sufficient for the increased sump volume? I want to make plans accurately before blowing my gov't cash and my current plans depend on this question. Am I on the right track?
