Reefing newb
i am setting up my first sump (for my 75 gallon mixed reef)
it will be located in the room directly behind the wall.
i am planning on building a diy overflow but i have a couple of questions
what if the return pump isn't strong enough and doesn't send the water back as quick as it receives it
what if the return pump is too strong and send the water back too fast and empties the sump
I've seen people drill a hole in a HOB filter (aqua clear 30) and have the water pumped into the filter though the built in pump, and then go down into the sump instead of back into the tank, and since i have an extra one i thought i might try it but how do i make it that the water comes in at the same rate as the return pump sending it back
