Tyler and I are tossing around the idea of adding a 50 gallon lowboy frag tank and a 65 gallon FOWLR tank to our system (see drawing). We are planning on moving our water station downstairs and running the plumbing up through the floor. We would be moving the sump down there as well and tying all three tanks into the one system. Total rated volume would be 240 gallons, tanks only, not including sump volume and not taking displacement from rocks/substrate, etc into consideratio. My current sump is a Trigger Systems Sapphire CR 44 (which, btw will be available for purchase when we upgrade)
For those of you concerned about my health - yes I am still sick, still on IV nutrition but now down to 18 hours a day which gives me six hours of freedom from being tied down to my rolling suitcase! I am awaiting my appointment at Emory with the guy who is supposed to be the absolute best in this field. Meanwhile the reef brings me joy. It is something to think about that is growing and vibrant and full of life. I thoroughly enjoy it and the ARC community and all the fun possibilities it holds. I either keep living or just lay down and die, which I’ve considered doing but isn’t really me. I’m a fighter. And I greatly appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and concern.
So what size sump should we upgrade to? We have 60” x 36” of space and Tyler will build a shelf over it for the water barrels.

Thanks for looking!

to get a really big all the bells and whistles sump. Don’t know the volume of your current sump and the amount of displacement from your new setup plans in event of outage.
. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a pre planner lol
