I'm building my sump out of a 55 gallon tank. I am using a mag 12 for my return. The baffles I am using are 10 inches tall. How much space should I make my pump area
I'd make it bigger. That is only 1.8 gals, and you may see significant evap in that small space. But if you have a pretty accurate ATO, then you should be fine.
Your chambers will all stay the same level because your return pumps must fill those until they overflow to get the water back to the return pump. therefore if you have less water in the system your return pump area will be lower.I don't completely understand. Will each of my 3 chambers in the sump evaporate at different speeds. I know my skimmer area is going to be 10"x12"x10". Just trying to get the most out of my fuge area
Ok. What ato system would you recommend. I haven't thought that far yet was going to manually top it off but I did plan in adding an ato
Does it do a good job. They are only rated for up to 100 gallons
