I got a fairly large sump for my tank (45 gal sump on 65 gal tank) and it is taking up a bit of space in my cabinet. The whole purpose of having a large sump was to get a nice macro chamber / refugium going in the middle chamber with a large ball of chaeto (still growing out) and some matrix media.
Unfortunately, with my new auto top off and dosing unit - it is getting cramped and I still need to add this dual phosban / carbon reactor (seen on right). I can't put it in the current location seen in the picture because it is too wide with the wires jabbing at it.
I am contemplating moving the skimmer (can't see it because it is behind the center pillar in this picture) to the middle chamber and then sticking the reactor in the final chamber (return pump chamber) of the sump.
Alternatively, I can leave the skimmer where it is and put the reactor in the middle chamber with the chaeto and matrix.
It sucks because I was hoping to have a nice little chaeto area with tons of copepods...not sure if that can be a reality at this point.
