Hello
I am still confused regarding turnover etc. Some people seem to refer to turnover as 2 different things. Given that my system is 700 ltrs could I ask the following?
1. How many LPH should my main return pump in my sump be rated at to be adequate?
2. How many powerheads do I need in my display tank and what LPH would be adequate for each?
3. Should these pumps be arranged to maximise flow over the drop off wall or at my rock to assist in keeping it free of debris?
I have read that turnover should be between 10 - 20 times and initially i thought this referred to the return pump in the sump but now I'm confused.
