Are Refugiums and Sumps Mandatory?
Greetings, Brad B. here. I’ve been reading a lot on your web site to try an educate myself, answer questions and get ideas. I’m trying to be a good steward and have a basic question. First, here’s my scoop: 46 g bow front marine aquarium / 60 lbs of live reef sand / mix of rock and live rock – a good coverage of LR but not all that much weight as I chose specimens with good color and surface area but light (save $$) / two Emperor 280s (fiber media plus activated carbon cartridges) / AquaC Remora skimmer with MaxiJet 1200 / two AquaClear 50s and two AquaClear 30s for circulation / Coralife 36″ with a 96W Actinic, 96W 10,000K white, and two lunar LEDs on a timer – Actinic = 12 hrs and White 10,000K 8 hrs… okay…
