Ive got a 120g tank cycling right now. I have a Jebao DCP-6500 that does about 1700gph in the sump and I have 2 Jebao SW8's in the DT that do about 1300gph.
My sump has about 30 gallons total water and my DT I would say about 100g total water. So 130g total.
Right now my return pump is just on full blast as I didnt have the powerheads until today. Now I am trying to figure out what I should set the return at.
I know with the powerheads doing about 25x DT turnover that should be decent enough. So I dont think I need to be blasting another prob 15-1600gph(considering plumbing etc) through the tank and sump. I am currently thinking about turning the pump down to about 60% which would put me at 900-1000gph through the sump.
Is that too much or enough?
