Set up new sump

[FaLong]

Hi,

I need to set up my first sump and I am upgrading from a 1L cannister filter. 

I was thinking about putting white wool in the dividers, put my old bio media in the first chamber with the intake, skimmer and UV in the second, and some chaeto in the third together with the pump.

Is this correct? Any recommendations?

Will chaeto bits get sucked into the pump if they are both housed in the same compartment? Unless you are putting the chaeto in a bag or something?

btwn skimmer & pump compartment can consider filter floss in between in the event of microbubbles

Chaeto shud be put in seperate compartment.

What about if I put it inside a basket,;so the pump will not absorb it?

I have started to setup the sump.

- Phase 1: is divided in two: I have put foam in the intake and will put my filter media in the old owing.

- Phase 2: I will put here the skimmer and UV (I have some live rock curating temporary). As it is quite big, I am considering adding the chaeto here.

- Divider: I put wool here

- Phase 3: pump

What do you think?

Why not put the cheato in the first compartment since you have a light there.

The light is in the second.

The first one is behind with the wool and media.

Ok then put the cheato in the 2nd where the light is.
