I'm planning on my first sump and it'll be a 10g sump for my 36g tank, but I have some unclear information / questions I need first.
1. Does the overflow need to be 10 x tank volume or 5 x tank volume, EX. 36g+10g sump = 46g so 460gph
2. Will this be good water movement: return pipe will be in the back top right corner and will be split into two direction ( forward and along the back wall). A PH will probably be placed in the back bottom left corner pointing 45 degrees up.
3. Should the bubble trap be before, after, or both ends of the fuge.
4. Which sump set up is better: skimmer > fuge > return vs. skimmer > return >return pipe tee'd off into fuge > fuge into return
5. Is pvc better than clear tubing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
