    Cryptic Zone Along with an Algae Scrubber?

    I have a 180 gallon tank with a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank in the basement for a sump.

    Currently I have a 26 Gallon plastic box in the sump that used to hold the skimmer that I am
    planning on using as a Cryptic Zone (since I need the container to sit the scrubber on top of)

    I just built an Algae Scrubber into another 26 Gallon plastic
    box that that will sit on top of the existing box.

    The water flow will flow:
    From the Display
    ...To the Algae Scrubber
    ......To the Cryptic Zone
    .........To the sump
    Then pumped back to the display.

    Does anyone see any issues with this setup?

    I figured best to ask before I get it all put in place.

    I'd make the scrubber last, so that pods and algae won't get stuck before making it to the display.

    I wish I could, I have a basement sump.

    Hopefully the next house (if I move again) will have a room behind the tank.
