72 bow front in-and-out system

magicbuddha19 · Feb 22, 2014

I am setting up a new 72 bow front aquarium. I have a 46 bow now with a canister filter and want to use a sump for my next tank. I plan on drilling it and saw this online...700 In-N-Out Complete System would that be too small for a 72 bow or would that be ok? all opinions appreciated!!!

I believe that is fine. Just remember that your system as a whole needs to turn over about 10-20 times the water volume, so for a 72g, you are looking at 720gph - 1440gph. Most people dont do this by only the over flow. Just ad some power heads to get your flow up.
