FW sump design: fluidized bed and a refuge?

[Troy1015]

Dloks Troy1015 tagging myself so I remember this thread. Getting a nice 40gallon breeder for 20 and will use your design Fish Tank Travis for my sump upgrade.

No problem. I think K1 is great stuff. It just requires a lot more room than what you have available.

Btw, if you change your mind about looking for a cheap 55, here is a picture of my sump that I just installed the baffles in last weekend.

The left chamber will be full of ceramic rings with filter floss/sponges on top for mechanical. The middle will be a refugium area, and will house the heaters. Then the right section will be for the return pumps.

can we get a pic of this up and running? Fish Tank Travis
