  1. Berlin style sump or refugium?

    I just got my new Oceanic dual overflow 140 gallon. I have been researching and think I'm going to plumb it with the Herbie method.

  2. Anyone have the Avast cs1 peg leg cone skimmer?

    I'm getting ready to upgrade my tank from a 75 gallon to a 140 with a 40 gallon sump. I need to upgrade my skimmer and had considered building the CS1 from Avast. It's rated for up to 200 gallons and comes with a sicce PSK 2500 pump with avast modded volute. My intention for the tank is to concentrate on SPS and LPS corals. Any input would be helpful.
