My little giant pump on my 75g crapped out the other day. The tank doesn't have anything live in it but sand right now so it's no big deal but I'm trying to figure out about replacing it. I picked up a Quiet One Pump (which is anything but quiet) for it rated at 780gph. I'm still sealing up leaks and all but what I'm noticing is that the pump is draining the return section of my sump faster than it can refill. Is my pump too strong for my sump or am I missing something here? The sump is actually just an empty wet dry. It's not real big but it's not tiny either... Maybe 10-20 gallons? Let me know what you think.
EDIT: and what about just scrapping the sump and running everything within the tank? 4 Maxijets in the tank would give me 15.7X circulation per hour. Plenty of live rock would be the filtration... Opinions?
