100 gallons Acros tank

Dang I missed this thread update.
Looks like your off to a great start, great equipment choices and plumbing. I like your cord management too, much better job than I did
I have a geo reactor, a 618 if your interested, suitable for up to 300 gallons. Let me know!
I am using the bigger model for my tank and its worked great.

I bought of one on Amazon. I still need to refill my co2 tank (any place recommended Vu?)
Thank you for helping me order the aquamaxx.
Not at all. I don't have a good habit cleaning the sump. All the maintenance is only just take out the skimmer cup and clean it.

I'm finding a way to add a refugium.
I hope fans can cool down this tank since the living room is not that hot. But if not, I will move the inside chiller out and use room AC to cool the 45 gallons.
Or, I will just buy another chiller. Thanks to Smite, he did an awesome job on the plumbing, the return manifold has an outlet for chiller if needed.
Find a way to add the refugium into my sump.
Cut the normal acrylic tank into half.
Fit perfectly:
Add eggcrate and plastic matt for evenly support.
With the xr15 radion, this can even be a frag tank! ???
The feed source gonna be the T split from main drain.
Question: what will be the best method for a silent, safe drain for this refugium? Please help me!

Huhm, you're right. The sump only 1/2" thick. I will need to put more pvc to support the weight. But it's not too much, the refugium is only 5gallons or less.
I more worry about the heat of that radion rather than the spread. Cheato doesn't need much light, as long as it doesn't completely dark, chaeto will grow just fine.

Or go with a 2 bulb T5 retrofit, and you can run those led bulbs. That way it won't add much heat, and it will give great spread. If it was me, that's what I would go with.
OR ditch the fuge idea all together and run a chaeto reactor. Like the ARID
