Hey I'm not 100% sure this is posted in the right thread buy I'm looking at adding a cryptic zone or add an additional tank to make into a cryptic zone. Has anyone added a cryptic zone to their tank and if so did you notice any differences?
Cryptic zone for my 300g

Geo makes reactors
I know they make reactors, but I have a spare smaller sump i could plumb into my existing sump to add more water volume and enough space for all the live rock currently in my sump.
Reefbum has some youtube vids that talk about his i think

I would just plumb it externally. Save space and increase water volume in 1. Reactors are pretty cheap so I think it’s worth ot
the plan is to plumb in a 20g spare sump that i could just fill up with all the live rock in my current sump. just plan to paint it all black and make a lid to black out for it

you’re planning on running 2 sumps? Side by side or one on top of another?
ive got a 90gallon sump, then will use a small pump to push water into the cryptic sump, that will drain back into the main sump
my filtration is in a room behind my tank

I’m confused why you’re adding another sump to plumb into a reactor. You can just use a pump
im not using a reactor, im using a smaller sump that will be filled with rock and water and painted black with a lid to be a cryptic sump

Ah, I guess that would work. A second sump just seems a bit more complicated.
Just think of it as a square reactor. Will only have rock and water
