I have a 40 Gallon tank I'm planning on setting up with a 20g sump/fuge. I'll be running a mixed sump/fuge with a protien skimmer.
I'm going to run it as a Invertbrate reef tank with a DSB for several months, then get a larger tank, swap things over and get the Octo.
I plan on drilling the 40g for a 1" standpipe, and two 1/2" returns using a SCWD. I will be using a overflow as well. I was going to seal the top of the tank with a weighted piece of acrylic.
My only concern is how to I keep the Octo out of the overflow, and the stand pipe? Do I just put a filter on the stand pipe and assume he will get into, and can get out of the overflow?
I figure I can use the fuge to keep his food in.
