RC,
I have a 75g display (FOWLR) and I'm using a 29g tank as the sump/fuge because I want the fuge to have a TON of macro algaes and be home to either a pair of harlequin shrimp or 10+ sexy shrimp. I want this section to be as large as possible.
I am using a cheap coralife super skimmer (came with the setup and this whole system is being upgraded in less than a year) that can be hung on the side of the tank and the pump is the only design constraint there. I'll also have a TLF 150 reactor running with biopellets.
Maxijet doesn't make the 1200 in the classic style anymore (or I can't find it) but there will be a similar pump in that section as well.
The center is the return. There will be a bulkhead drilled on the backside of the tank with the pump running parallel to the sump behind it...fed by a 90 degree elbow, then a ball valve, then the pump.
The pump will be teed off to feed the fuge via an 18W UV sterilizer.
How small can I make the center return section without it being disasterously bubbly? There will be an ATO that corrects for evaporation.
I also have a piece of PVC with holes drilled into it that sticks into the bulkhead that runs the width of the tank / length of the return section.
Any other issues anyone sees?
