And The more I think of it, I will gravity feed from the Nano into the display and the pump from the main back into the Nano. But, I will figure out some way to put a switch (Mccgiver a auto-top off??) on the pump so that it will shut off if the gravity feed stops. Today I have another problem. I have a 3/4" pvc pipe running underneath the display stand that I intended to use for water changes. But that engineering task was not approved. So now I have to rethink that one. I don't like the idea of lugging water up and down the stairs.

No you are not. After a 'discussion' with my wife, I won't be drilling a hole in my floor to run some PVC pipe into my basement like I had planned.

No I can't. Behind the tank is the outside wall. Good thought though. My worry with the gravity feed set up is the possibility of dumping a lot of water into the 30 IF the flow is resticked somehow from the 30 back into the 120.

I think I will have the room, but cosmetics are a big thing. I am married to an interior decorator and I am trying my best to cover up as much as I can. My nano will be about a foot away from the main tank. The back of the nano tank is plastic so I can easily pop a hole in the back and add a bulkhead there. I wish I had a picture of the proposed setup, but that's at home and alas, I am at work right now.

As Howard said, that is the same unit as I was looking at. I would go with the 8 54w bulb combo with the 120 that I am setting up. It looks good on that tank.

I am in the process of setting up a new AGA RR 120G. I will be using the AGA mega flow sump also. Once this new tank is operating, I would like to add my 24G aquapod into this new system to have a larger volume of water. I also have plans on using the Nano as my refugium. One suggestion to combine the two, was to raise the nano so that the tank will be taller than the 120, use a small pump to take water out of the 120 into the nano and then gravity feed Nano return into the 120. That is going to be difficult since the stand that I have for the 120 (an oceanic stand) is very tall. Any other thoughts? Thanks

I made a slight mistake in the post - I should have said the AquaFuge MP. The MP denotes it as a tank. See this: http://www.cprusa.com/products/afmp.html I was thinking along the lines of a 40G breeder, but after reading all the posts yesterday when I did a search on sumps, I am more confused about the DIY aspect than I was before the reseach.

I recently purchased a 120 G AGA RR tank. I am looking at the different options for a sump. I recently saw the CPR AquaFuge and was wondering if anyone is familiar with the unit? I need to decided the sump option soon so I can get this tank up and running. Thanks

Welcome Steve. I am relatively new also. I set up my AquaPod in April, but I've got my eye on a 120. Nice start.
