    Default Ideas for new set up please

    Ok heres the scenario. I have a good Friend with a 135 gl tank with stand and canopy. He is insistent upon using this tank. There is no place for a sump short of running the plumbing down into his garage and building an insulated cabinet for it. Its a newer home and the room sets over the garage. Can I make this work? I have a Deltec mce 600 hang on skimmer rated @ around 120 gl . And a larger hang on cpr refugium. I was also thinking of using the new bio pellets in a 2 fishes hang on reactor to help with filtration if needed . Ok I know this sounds like a lot of crap in the tank. I am relatively sure I could keep it hidden . Is this ridiculous? thanks for looking. DB

    Default stand

    the stand is more of a book case in the bottom its open with some shelves. I have told him that its just the wrong tank for a reef set up but. I was thinking that there may be a way to make it work

    I was also thinking (worst case scenario) is that I could build a bigger hob refugium. I may at least drill it for an overflow while its empty, in case I need to plumb it later?
