Hi All,
Can you please check the sump design I have put together for a 150G DT. Sump is 50G 36X15X20. I plan on utilizing a Super Reef Octopus 3000SSS skimmer. Dimensions are 12.25X11X24.5. Optimum water height is 6" so I would need to raise the skimmer about 8" in the sump leaving me with 4" of clearance under a 36" cabinet. I plan on using a Water Blaster HY 5000 Return Pump. Flow rate @ 5' would be about 850-900 gph. Would that give me enough flow to split 75/25 between return to DT and Fuge, or should I step the pump up to the 7000?
Thanks!
