[Erikmichael23]

I recently bought a 7 gal bowfront and I'm setting up a 5 gal sump...the sump I bought is 350 gph I was wondering if that is too much I'm getting a nano ehopps overflow (hob)...its 200gph but I heared it can handle more online plus it can b turned down...any info helps, thanks..

Seems like a small sump, what would the point of having it be?

Usually you have a sump for hiding your equipment like a skimmer, heater, reactors, ect. I would bet you won't be able to fit much more than the return pump

No I made it with a corner for the pump the mid is all open and I have a good section of media....but I decided against it found a hob refugium and put a skimmer in it and added a canister
