It's me again. This time I could use you guys expertise on sumps. This is what I'll be working with:
Main tank - 50g(36"x18"x18")
Sump - 24g(24"x18"x12")
Both tanks have corner overflows and a 1.75" hole near the top of the tank. I'm not sure what size tubing will be used. I'm guessing 1.5" or 1 5/8". With that size tubing I'm thinking that I'll have to much flow and will probably need a valve to slow it down a bit.
**Disclaimer: I know jack about setting up a sump!**
I have read Larry's sump page and think I have a good grasp on how things are supposed to work, but don't know about the particulars. This is where I could use some advice. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
