ok, Reefers help me out and correct me on my logic, I have a 120 Reef Ready tank and a custom sump 51 gal approx.
All plumbing below the stand is 1", from the bulkhead up is reduced to 3/4" for 2 returns, a main over flow and an emergency overflow. I have an Orlushy DC-5000 pumps that run per manufacturer 1320 gph, taking into account the head height of 4' from the sump considering maybe a 10% decrease per foot, would keep me at 800 gph more or less a few.
Is this reasoning good and close to accurate or I'm I looking so much into it that I'm WAYYYYY off?
Would this be enough flow for a 120 going trough the sump and back?
Thanks in advance
