sump setup

[sidd129]

How does this set up sound for adding a sump to my 75.
I have a 13 gallon sump. I'm going to use a 1" bulkhead with 3/4" pvc and a ball valve. for the return I will be using an eheim 1260 with 1/2" pvc and a ball valve.
Will these diameters be okay?

Thankyou,


Adam

i would think that 13 gal is a little small for 75 tank...are you going to have a refugium? or is it just to run your skimmer? what is the flowrate of the eheim 1260 ? 1/2 inch line is going to restrict alot of the flow...I would run 3/4 back as well...jus my .02

It's main purpose at the moment is to put the equipment in. A skimmer, a phosban reacter, all my meters, a heater. If there is room I will add some macro on a reverse photo period but only if there is room. I wanted to spend the money on a good pump and I can get this sump for a really good price. In the future I will be looking for some thing bigger. One of the reasons for wanting to hide all the epuipment is so when our child starts crawling all the cords will be under the stand and not hanging from it. This is only one of the reasons though. half inch does seem small though. the eheim is about 600 g/hr
