Sump flow. (1 Viewer)

Hello all,

I'm working on a 125 peninsula build. Tank I 72" long. About what percentage of flow should I run through the sump? Building the sump out of a standard 55.

10-15 times of ur system volume so from 1800 gph to 2700 gph

I got same set up as u 125/55. I use a 1000 gph return pump. To make up remaining flow requirement I use wave makers in main tank & a small power head in refugium. One note to make on the 55 g sump, I only have a couple inches of clearance between the stand & sump so when I have to dig out something from the bottom of it or remove my skimmer, it’s a pain
