Hi All
Today my buddy reached out to me to help him make a filter system out of a 125 gal tank which he will be using for a sump. He has a 300 gal tank.
I have a 90 Reef tank that has a 30 gal sump with sock filters, phosphate reactor, macroalgae section, protein skimmer. I also have a decent amount of base rock in the sump.
My questions to you guys is since he will be need a good amount of rock in the sump is there it ok to use lava rock or florida reef rock to get the same results for a biological filtration.
How much of the rock would we need in the sump ?
I am looking to run 1 return pump that is quite and doesn't suck up watts any recommendations?
Open to any suggestions
