Sump for a 75g Frag Tank

danjen10 · 02-26-2008, 01:38 PM

I wanted to get opinions on the best sump size and setup for my new frag tank. My current tank has a refugium but based on all the input, the frag tank will just have a sump.

Do I need baffles or anything special in the tank or can I just get a good size (like 30g) glass tank or even just a big plastic tub from Home Depot on somewhere like that and set the return pump in it?

I will have an ATO on it so level will be maintained well.

Thanks

a 20g rubbermade tub should be fine.

The baffles are just going to cut down on the bubbles. Try w/out first I would say. Then you can add some kind of baffle system.

since it is just a frag tank and not a display, and you will have an ATO to maintain the water height, I would say there is no need for baffles.
