AndrewB August 21, 2007 August 21, 2007 To answer the first question, you'll need a 36x18 inch footprint for your sump tank. AGA makes a 30 breeder, 40 breeder, 50 and 65 gallon tanks in that footprint. The 40 breeder is probably the ideal model although you may be able to fit the 50. On the other question, AGA is currently undergoing a name change involved with the integration and reorganization of several companies. Very soon AGA tanks, etc., will be called Aqueon. The web site, while not yet complete, is www.aqueonproducts.com.

ReeferMan August 21, 2007 August 21, 2007 (edited) you can make it that way do the recirculation mod with feed pump and a gate valve mod. I am in the process of doing this and its easy to do this. Its about $40-50 to do it if you can find the peices cheap. i ordered them from savko Edited August 21, 2007 by phisigs79

ReeferMan August 21, 2007 August 21, 2007 (edited) no only will this help run your skimmer externally, it will also make it more pull out more nasty stuff. I have the same skimmer and the gate valve mod alone made it easier to tweak and works better. I am going to pickup a holesaw to do the recirc this weekend. Edited August 21, 2007 by phisigs79
