Hi all. I’m new to reef2reef (but not new to saltwater tanks). I’ve had a 20G long tank for years. Pretty simple setup. No sump, no skimmer, just a HOB filter, live rock a custom ATO and water changes. I have a couple of fish, some zoa and mushrooms ( and quite a bit of bubble algae at one time).

I am planning to upgrade to a 29 gallon (same footprint, but 6” taller). Physical space is my biggest limitation. I want to build a custom 10 gallon sump, with a nano skimmer and a refugium with chaeto. I’d like to upgrade to a Tunze ATO and upgrade my lights. My goal is to finally have some lps and maybe a few sps.

Right now my cabinet has a large Rubbermaid tub as my ATO reservoir. Not very space efficient. So I’m going to replace it with an acrylic reservoir to make room for the sump.

I’ve been reading a lot about sumps and plumbing, but still have lots of questions.

I’ll post updates of my progress as I go.

welcome and good luck with your build!
