I created a new webpage for those of you that want to use a glass aquarium for a sump. Using some acrylic pieces, you can make a satisfactory sump and save a lot of money.
Melev’s Reef was built to educate hobbyists, providing the best detail to help readers succeed as reef keepers and avoid common pitfalls (often due to lack of knowledge or misinformation). This repository of articles grows annually, sharing what I know and photo-documenting those experiences. The products I trust to keep my own livestock healthy are the same ones I sell to customers. Using these products myself, I can more easily provide assistance when questions arise. Thank you for supporting a small-but-growing business.
