I I have 72 gallon reef tank an I would to get a sump for it but I'm not sure what gph return pump I need and overflow pump to the sump and would a 20-30 gallon be good

David S said:the HOB skimmers are able to go in the sump but need to be set up at the same height as if it were outside the tank,they dont work as well submersed lower than they should be.

BallinCrew10 said:If its that small I wouldn't think so. Just put the overflow slightly lower if it becomes an issue.
BallinCrew10 said:Yea, good idea. Mines a pain to get to, let alone start a siphon lol.
