Hey there everyone. Just want to give a big shout out to everyone on this forum. Just doing searches I have been learning so much and I appreciate all the information everyone has to offer. I have decided to start a reef aquarium and I have always been the kind to go big or go home. I recently acquired a 210g tank with a 90g sump. The last salt water tank I had was a 45g and it went ok but it was alot of work.
So now starting out with a significantly larger tank, I know that I'm up for a challenge. This tank I'm cleaning up and getting ready to start, has one over flow (the other was removed and holes covered up.) My question is, would it be ok to use one sump and maybe make a PVC pipe overflow to reach the other side of the tank? The plumbing that flows to the sump is maybe only 1" what makes me think the flow to the pump will be insufficient. Any ideas will deffinately be appreciated.
