what to do with a 40 gallon with bio ball sump

[deboy69]

What should I do with my spare tank, turn it into a qt tank or a frag tank?

Turn it into a frag tank, get rid of the bio balls and turn the sump into a refugium

Turn it into a frag tank, get rid of the bio balls and turn the sump into a refugium

I might. Its one of those Amiracle sumps that uses bio balls. Going to use a HOB overflow. I have t5 lighting. Would this be ok? I havent figured out how to get the return done yet.

That's what I did with my wet dry too.

I originally had taken the Bio balls out, but ended up putting them back in until I have enough rock in there. Plus I have three 12" compartments in there so I have the bio ball section, refugium section and sump/Skimmer area. You would just use the Bio ball section for your 'fuge.
