Hello,
I'm planning the build on an oceanic 130gallon tank. I plan on eventually doing triton, but may take about 3 to 4 months before fully switchover to it once the tank is initially up. With that thought in mind I was thinking of going the trigger systems triton 44 sump. one of the specs for triton, it says 10x turnover in sump. Well the tank 2 overflows, each with 1 1" drain, and 1 3/4" return for 2 of each total. The 1" drains supposedly handle 600 gallons apiece gravity fed for a total of 1200. that would technically put me at 9.1x for turnover. I'm thinking tuning/head loss etc, I woiuld be around 8 to 8.5x turnover. is that close enough?
also whats the big difference between regular triton method and triton other method. because I have a chance of thinking about getting the trigger systems emerald/sapphire 39inch sump for $200 cheaper than the 44triton.
