I want to setup a sump for my 75g SA cichlid tank. I have a 30g tank,overflow, and Danner mag-drive 9.5 pump. This will replace the two emperor's I have, I want to clean up the back of the tank.
I have about 35lbs of dried and boiled lr rubble I didn't use on my sw tank. Could I use that for my bio media, and what could I use for a nitrate and phosphate. I assume this would be some sort of plants or something. And how far down in the water should the intake of the overflow be set(never used one before) The overflow itself looks to be around the 700 gph size with a 1 and 5/8 drain hole. It has no bulkhead fitting attatched, so I'm guessing a 1.5 in bulkhead is what fits it. Will the 9.5 be enough to handle the output of the overflow. The pump has 49'' of head to overcome.
