    Hi, I just bought a 65 gallon long tank and was wondering how go about my filtration needs. Of course I will be getting a skimmer. But I am not sure what else to do. I have thought about building sump and possibly making refugium but not really to sure how to do it. Any ideas?

    Thank You

    Check out this site, Melevsreef.com He has lots of sump and fuge designs. You don't have to use acrylic, you can use a used glass tank for both by jut adding the baffles.

    You can also purchase a tank at a pretty reasonable price from Glass Cages.com , Shipping isn't as bad as you would think and they also deliver to a central pickup location for allot less, see the web page for locations and dates.
