My Nano 12DX Sump/Refugium

[matthewdmueller]

Hi all,
Well I have finnally started to build my nano. It about time. Parts are arriving, sweet, and I have allready started drilling, also sweet. I have lots of pics I just have to get them off of my camera but right now I have a sketchup of the sump that I am going to build and I just wanted to know what you guys and gals think. Keep in mind that this is for a very small tank, but this rig doubles my water volume and fits into a 24DX stand. Yes that is going to be a 12Dx on a 24dx stand. My return pump is a MH1200 and there is a modded seaclone skimmer that pumps water out of the sump into the refugium above. then the refugium drains back into the sump and gets pushed out to the display. Let me know and I will work on getting some more pics. Sketchup is great!

Matt,

First and foremost, welcome to MR - good to have you.

Second, ditch the seaclone and read the skimmer thread here on MR - that skimmer will be obsolete in 3 months (if not before you purchased it). Since skimming is key to good water quailty, I would rethink and get something worth skimming for :p)

Nice sketch - keep the pics coming and let MR assist with the final build - we have made alot of the mistakes already - no need for you to duplicate.

Again, welcome
