Just to throw my experience in... I am using T5 and LED. Using the T5 because that's what I had and added the LED because I wanted the shimmer. Seems to be working well. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Sorry, have been slacking on checking this forum. I went with a 29G tank for my sump. It made more sense to have the extra water volume. I did add a portion for a fuge. I don't count on it being the main nutrient export though.

I currently use an Eheim 3000 and don't have one complaint. It's quiet and you have the ability to adjust the flow rate. It seems like the Sicce pumps get good reviews as well. I also use pvc plumbing for my return and my overflow plumbing. For my overflow, I use 1.5" pvc, but I only use one...
