Hustlers 300G Panzer Project (Up and Running)

[The Grizz]

Just a few thing that I notice to concider, not saying that I am 100% right but it what I would do since I have an 8' tank as well.

1. Try to keep your drain lines as close to the same length as possible.
2. If you are going to run Bio pellets you will not need a refuge or the light. The pellets will do the same as any macro algea, fill middle compartment with rock. Your bio pellet reactor output must be put as close to your skimmer feed pump as possible
3. Split your sump into 3 compartment making your return end the largest, the input to the sump the smallest. 2 baffles to divide first & second compartment, 3 baffles to divide second & third.
4. I am doing the same size tank & return pump. My idea is to run my skimmer, chiller & all reactors off my drain lines ( manifold system with control valves ) this way you don't need all the extra pumps, something to think about.

Remember this is simply what I would do.


Question about your skimmer? What kind did you get?
