Hey all. I'm beginning my project within a few more days when the stand finally arrives. I have a 55 gal that I'm setting up for fowlr. I have already purchased a remora skimmer that I plan to place underneath in the sump system. I have 2 power heads on order to create water flow inside the tank.
I have a few questions at this point though. One is on the sump. Being a 55gal tank, what size sump should I plan? Also, I see that some sump systems have several chambers and other things, what are these for and can someone give some advice on sumps.
The second question I have is about heaters. I was told not to buy glass tube heater because they are horrible. I should buy titanium heaters. Is this really the case? I'm on a budget but I'd rather buy the "right" device once and not worry. Is this where I should spend the extra monay?
