I have question about my plumbing design.
The major concern I see is if I plan to have copepod breading in the sump refugium, I have design that pushes water through filters after refugium and I am now questioning myself if the copepod will make live back in the tank for fishes like mandarin gobi.
The new 100G tank build specifications are as follows:
Tank: 48" x 38" x 18"
Sump: 24" x 16" x 15"
Pump: Blue Line 55 HD
Skimmer: Precision Marine Bullet 2
lights(2): Kessill A 360W
Overflow: Custom Made
My plumbing is a pulling mechanically filtered water after refugium back into tank as well as to skimmer and additional filters like bio-pellet, phosphoban.
Besides my initial question, I have more questions,
1) Will the pump capacity (1100 GPH) be sufficient for this design ?
2) Will I have sufficient water force delivered to skimmer for it to function properly ?
I have following pictures to give idea of my build:
1) Plumbing with Manifold
2) Sump with inflow from overflow
3) Skimmer connected outside the aquarium cabinet
4) The Aquarium with lights
5) Sump and motor connection
