I am picking up a eshopps overflow box as well as there R-100 refugium/sump tomorrow. My question is what gph should i get, they have two sizes that i was looking at there is the 300gph and a 800gph. I posted a similar question recently but am not going to get a cpr as i can get the eshopps locally.
I have a 55 gallon mixed reef. My current equipment i have a reef octopus hob bh-1000, phosban 150, hob filter, and a jebao wp25 powerhead running on W1 S2 knob at about 50%. Also the return pump i ordered, Reef Octopus Diablo DC-3500, can push about 790 gph at a 4 foot head hight (at least based on there chart), but it comes with a controller so i can adjust it accordingly.
I believe in saltwater you want at least a 10x overturn, is this correct? So i guess is if i was to get the 800gph one would it be too much of a turn over? If this is too much could i actually push about 600-700gph out of this the 800 gph overflow?
Also i plan on keeping my hob skimmer until i can order the Reef Octopus Super Reef 1000-SS, would this be ok? My current skimmer is rated for up to 125 gallon and the eshopps R-100 holds about 20 gallons
