20 gal saltwater setup?

LOL. It's just a little guide so you can see the average head loss for each gph. It will differ from each manufacturer I'd imagine, but at least you can get an estimate. I figure I'm pumping like 1200gph max, since thats what my overflow is rated for.

thats still mighty impressive! i mean it would be different if we were talking about gallons per day, but thats 1200 gallons...per hour...

yeah youre not going to get more than what your overflow can handle without a mess....

Well, the lrge tank was....not a deal.
So back to my original 20 gal idea. It's been thoroughly cleaned and has sat dry for a week.
Ready to add water and sand.
Now...for cycling...
What is the best option? Get some base rock, a little live rock and a few raw shrimp for ammonia?

 

[kurtyboh]

Thats it, i prefer pure ammonia but shrimp works just as well.
