    Will I finally got my cheap little sump/refugium back up. I am happy to get all that stuff out of my display tank. I am a bit nervous about back flow of my return pump. I did test it and I got the return line high enough that back flow stops just short of over flowing the 15g sump. I just hope it doesn't happen :D

    I guess with about 15 gallons of new water and the new sand bed in the refugium, I will have another mini cycle. I guess.

    Thanks oldfishkeeper! Pretty simple set up, just like everything about my tank, cheap and simple ;D but I sure can't complain about the success I have had. knocking on wood.
