Aquarium Advice Regular
ok guys as you may know i have a 55 gallon reef with about 3 inch ls and 70 lbs lr for about 5 years now. 2 power heads one aquaclear filter and a cpr bakpak 2 skimmer,
i want to start another fuge/ sump with chaeto and put the skimmer and heater ect in the sump.
i had a rio 2100 pump for the return but i had an impossible time adjusting the flow restriction to match the syphon going into the tank ,. it would empty the sump gradualy and starve the syphon.
i am pushing water about 5 feet up from the sump and i have a overflow syphon as my drain my question is can anyone suggest a good pump they use? or recommend? and how does one get a grip on flow rates from pumps to equal the syphon drain?
thx
