It has taken some time, but the correct overflow for my 120 gallon display finally arrived and my son and I installed it today.
Triton recommends a 10x turnover of system volume. With a 125 gallon tank in the basement as a sump plus 120 gallon display, let's assume 220 gallons total. That's 2,200 GPH... with the new overflow and an Abyzz A400 return pump, 2,200 GPH is doable, but is it reasonable?
FWIW, I'm also using an MRC Orca Pro I external skimmer drawing ~350-400 GPH that circulates water from the sump return back to the head end of the sump, so there is a reasonable amount of flow through the refugium even without the aquarium.
Thoughts, opinions? I have an inkling of what I think I want to (should) do, but am interested in others input.
Thanks,
M
