I have a 55 gallon suido reef with only soft corals. I found a 20 gallon long tank that I would like to make a sump/refugium. I need an over the tank overflow and a sump design.
1. What flow do I really want? I have heard 3-5 times tank volume and I have heard as fast as you can get.
2. Can I use a 1200 gph overflow with a 1400 (or so) return thru my SCWD? As the only
3. Do I need a second return for flow?
4. Could I take a 1200 gph overflow (cpr) and send 1 section to the sump and the other as a closed loop return.
5. What should the design be?
thanks for any help - I feel lost
