    Hi, been a member about a year now, but this is my first post. Been salt watering for 10 years. Getting ready for my fist tank with a sump. I have learn so much here. Thanks for all the help. So now its time to see if I did my home work. DT is 80 gal, sump is 40gal. Any comments would be great appreciated.



    Thanks again

    Hows the water getting in and out of the fuge? Seems like it would be better to go skimmer, fuge, bubble trap, return
