Oh.
Why? No room?

Yes. The Octopus skimmer is huge. I might rethink it at a later date, but I really want a display fuge. I like looking at the critters and sponges.

That’s gonna be tricky.

I know my stuff won't be high end acrylic, but it will match and look pulled together.

The previous owner had an external fuge in it before. He said he'd help me with how he did it.

By display fuge, I just mean nice looking.

I go Saturday at 4 to get the tank. I'm excited.

SPONGE GARDEN

My 55 has a 35 gal long sump. I started with a tunze 9001 skimmer in it. I have a tunze 9004 in it now.
5 years.

My vote. Look at the sump first.

I had already planned on scaling it back...

For a myriad of reasons, the largest sump possible is typically the best choice. More water volume and space is important.

You can easily take a large cube and put in a piece of glass or two and suddenly you have a section for bio media, fuge, sponge garden, and lionfish.

I have a sump. And a Sump Lord.
