Here's another idea for you. Maybe get a bigger place so you can have a bigger fishtank!

I like Pat's idea of a 90+90.

As promised here are the Before and after shots:

Before

This was my temporary sump I have been using for the last 2 months


This was my geto frag tank setup it consisted of a 12G tank and a 20G Garbage can Overflow box and Kent Skimmer (I never got it to work correctly). The only thing I have saved from this setup was the lights. (not the ones over the sump I fried that fixture by dropping it into the tank). You can also see my salt mixing and auto top off system with Kalk reactor for my main tank.

After:


Here is the complete setup

Top tanks & skimmer:

I have since removed the smaller skimmer from the system as it was not doing anything. I still have not seen any skimmate from my Extreme 200 but I believe it is still braking in.

Bottom tank and return pump:

Looks really good.  That purple stuff is hard to get off your hands ;).

I see my two old frags, top right and top left.  Glad to see they're doing well.  The birdsnest and orange monti are doing great.  The monti may have even become more orange than before.
