Crazy Times

Schoolwork is piling up. Really big time! its crazy. 3 am and i've just spent my whole evening pouring through some PHP code, struggling hard to figure out what's happening. Fish tank wise, I've a few components on hand and it all doesn't seem to be piecing together all too well. I might just scrape the idea of the sump for several reasons namely complication of building it, the space constraints, can't have a chiller, the danger of flooding my room. Anyhow, here's the second another sketch explainng what i had in mind for the sump tank.

4 main tank compartments. Water flows in through a wet/dry filter and then flows through some chemical media to the protein skimmer and water is pumped back into the main tank. Alternatively water may flow from the wet/dry filter into the refugium which is a place with low water movement providing a favourable growth environment for healthy bacteria which will in turn regulate the water quality.

This is a really exciting set up but unfortuantely because of constraints, it may not be the best choice. Until an alternative is more certain, I'll keep you guys posted.
