    The eel poops a LOT!!!! The protein skimmer in the ten gallon goes NUTS after he eliminates.

    I'm looking at running a 75gallon sump, with a protein skimmer rated to at least 300 gallons, probably more. It'll take a lot of filtration, I know that, but one filtration system vs. two, I should be able to go larger for the same money.

    Whats 72x36? A 180 wide is 72x24x25. A nice stand unfinished should cost you around $400 for a basic stand.

    6 ft x 3 ft...have to have that custom built, basically! I like your idea because I could get a stand and canopy setup so that it actually looks like one tank!

    Here's the sump I'm looking at...

    It has dual input, I could plumb both tanks into it directly. The refugium is still in the planning process... May custom build that and plumb is separately as well.
