This what I am planning for my filtration on my 125. Welcome thoughts, questions and advice.
I am using the standard marineland durso system that came with the tank. Given the wall space into the workroom I had available I do not think anything else would have worked. In the workroom I am curious if you think my configuration will work. I teed off the intake going to the left for the sump (lower pipe). I then planned to use the straight portion of the intake to travel to my refugium (using the gate valve to regulate the flow as needed). I would connect my refugium (wet/dry filter from a previous setup) via bulkhead back to the sump (strainer in bottom pipe, top pipe for safety in case of a clog). The return chamber is on the right side of the sump, so not sure if the travel distance to the refugium will be too far to keep up with the return pump (current USA 1050 gallons per hour DC pump), hence the gate valve to reduce flow as needed. The piping is just dry fitted right now for the layout.
Will this work? Thanks.
