I have used the exact same chinese chiller in the picture above and also switched to hailea 28a few months after, ran both on my old 10 gallon nano. One thing I noticed was that the chinese chiller ran for longer periods of time as it took longer to reach the temperature set. Now I've upgraded to a 40 gallon and still continued using the same hailea chiller. TLDR; hailea is a great option if you do have plans to upgrade in near future

Nice tank! Keeping track for updates on your progress

Thanks all for the advice. I ordered my red sea reefer from Madpetz already. Waiting patiently for arrival now. *Pulling hair* Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

The question is what do you need out of your sump? If you are looking for the sump to perform specific activities and those activities go beyond a simple set of chambers, then I would go with acrylic. I have owned both glass and acrylic, I have also custom made both. In my experience Acrylic allows you to be way more creative. For example, you can have built in roller filters, built in reactors, adjustable baffles, lids, etc etc. This means the sump becomes more functional. Regarding production acrylic. Clearly you are getting high production quality, but you can have a sump custom made to your needs and wants for not much more.. possibly even less depending on your design.

Normally I place another frag plug/rock under the mushroom and hoping it will grow on it. Sometimes it eventually splits, I'm guessing this is probably due to the uneven surfaces.
