i agree...Definitely go the DIY route if your handy.Try Marine Depot and Premium Aquatics for some choices.I recommend incorporating some kind of refugium with the sump setup.If you have money to spare(or looking for something custom)check out Lifereef.com and My Reef Creations(MRC).
hmmm,..good idea...more space the better..Your welcome Rigo.
Only if space is a concern than do a sump/fuge together.I still think a separate fuge gives you more control.Biff you have any problems with algae growing somewhere else besides the fuge?
