Newbie questions

Ok you have an Eshopps CDS 100 sump with a jabeo 9000 return pump. They question I have is what is the setting on the return pump and what additional are you running of that pump and header? Like protein skimmer, reactors things like that. I agree with Pife it just looks like it is stagnate not enough flow.

I'm running the pump at 80%, by my calculations that should be about 900 gph counting all the head loss and friction loss through the manifold. The only other thing I'm running off the return is a GFO reactor. There's pretty decent flow through the fuge, when anything floats over in front of the inlet it shoots across the fuge pretty quickly.

In my return has the same thing bob, I plan on putting a small powerhead pointed up to keep things going

It's not about the amount of flow it is the surface agitation.
