    fuge idea / what do you think?

    I have a 35 hex that I am thinking of making a fuge out of. It will sit beside the main display and I will build the stand up so it is higher then the display so it can gravity feed into the display.

    Main display has overflow box that will feed into the 1st chamber of the wetdry thru a filter sock and will have LR as filtration. Then water will enter chamber 2 of wetdry where there will be 2 pumps. 1 pump will feed my skimmer, which will return to chamber 2 of wetdry. 2nd pump will pump from wetdry into 35 fuge, that will then gravity feed back into main display.

    Fuge will have a 4-6" DSB along with a small amount of LR and assorted algae. I am planing on making the fuge like a "planted fuge". It will operate and have all the benefits of a fuge, but will look like a planted tank. May even keep a fish in there. What do you guys think?

    I was thinking of doing something similar, with a smaller fuge than yours, and a very small pump feeding it from my display tank.
