sump components and locations

[ochriso]

working on a sump for 220 build and I am looking for some input.

1. I am thinking of putting the temperature probe near the filter socks and refugium so to get a good idea of what display temp is and placing the heater/heaters in the skimmer section

2. looking for input on size and number of heaters. i'm thinking 2 finnex 500w titanium

3. my wife and I really do not like the look af frag racks in the display so I plan on having frag rack in sump. my question is lighting I have radion's for the display and was thinking of putting an xr15 pro over the sump and run similar lighting schedule as display but then run something a little more conducive to algae growth opposite the display. would this be a bad idea for the corals in the sump?

Thanks for the input. Build thread coming soon

I run a 310 with a 150 or so sump. I have 2 800 wt heaters. Both are in the return section. the temp probes are near the sock holders. I also have frags in the sump I run a small led for the corals and T5s for the macro. The leds run on the same cycle as the T5s.
