Hi all!
I am relatively new to the reef game having spent years with Fresh water tropical dreaming of some day having a reef tank, i finally took the plunge and may partner and i have had our Aqua One mini reef 150 up and running for around 9 months now.
As many of you may know already the mini reef 150 in stock form is very ahhh lets say basic so ill go through the current upgrades.
TANK- Mini Reef 150
Light- AL Prime HD
Wavemaker- Ecotech MP10QD X2
ATO- Smart ATO DUO
Skimmer- Aqua Excel 230
Return and heater still standard but looking at Reef link, Vector S2, and heating along with thermo control in the near future
Tank Stock
-Pair of clowns
-Long Spined sea urchin
-Fiji Foxface
-Firetail Goby
-Purple Fire fish Goby
-Yellow Coral Goby
-Lawnmower Blenny
-Orange Sea star
-Nassarius snails x 5
-Throchus Snail x 1
-Blue Maxima Clam
Now to the reason for this post
Some of you may have seen the sump design on these which is fine for the stock set up but I'm looking to modify and remove baffles and unused ATO reservoir to increase water volume and make some space.
My idea is to use the glass sump and install acrylic baffles and chambers but im in need of some ideas for layout. If anyone has modified there square sump or has something that might be of interest please post it up.
