My refugium over flows into my sump and the process recycles it self.
Sump 60 Gallons
















This is my auto top off bucket.


This gets topped off by.


Which comes from...


the water room


The box beside my sump is the power supply.








Thanks for looking.

Looks good. When can we expect the FTS?

Chameleons up top, banggais down below. Awesome.

Great little setup. So with the sump, been meaning to ask .. did you end up finding where UFA is now and getting a new one, or were you able to stem the leak somehow?

I fixed the leak thanks to Frag epoxy it was so thick it and it cured so fast, one side is protruding a bit so i am looking for a new tub maybe a bit bigger. I might get my employer to order me a rubbermaid commerical garbage container, I have no idea what price they sell for. Lol i probably will never get chameleons if they fell into my tank they probably would die.

Yeah sorry I realize it wasn't a serious idea, but it still seemed like an awesome setup if at least in a "dream setup" kind of way, if not in a "reality" kind of way. You wouldn't want chameleon poop in the water either I would suspect.
