Hi,
I have just purchased a 55usg (4') tank second hand from my local reef shop who have assured me that it has never been used and was bought when they setup new displays but was surplus to requirement and only cost £20.
For reference the dimensions of the main display will be 48"x15"x18" with my nano becomming the sump dimensions 24"x12"x15" giving a approx volume of 70USG. I'll be using additional powerheads for circulation and aim for a total turnover of 20 - 30 x per hour.
The tank has been drilled ready with two 3/4" bulkheads (3/4" pipe size) which is great as I wanted to run a sump/ fuge but am not sure how much flow I should be looking at putting through the sump. I was thinking of using one bulkhead as a drain and the second as the return. Would this work?
Any input greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Ben
