Please comment/critique on my planned tank setup


Recommended Posts

After extensive reading and gathering feedback, I've come up with a drawn plan for my "fish and invertebrate with live rock only" tank. Its kinda different from the norm, since

1. My overflow compartment does not have holes drilled in

2. I plan to reuse my canister filter despite incorporating a sump

Without further ado, here are the plans

Question.

1.Where is the best place to put the skimmer, UV and activated carbon?

2. What sort of additional biomedia would be good, and which

compartment would be the best position to place it?

3. My canister filter is currently for FW. What should I place in it for a SW

tank?

I would greatly appreciated other comments and critique on how to improve this setup. Thanks a million

Quite a complicated setup.

I think you don't have to use the canistor. It's a nitrate producer.

From main tank, straight away go to your sump with filter wool.

Put skimmer inlet after the filter and output near the return pump.

UV.... can put the same method as the skimmer.

I think you need a denitrator for your fish and invert tank as you will tend to overfeed the fishes.

You can put the GAC just before the return pump.
