Ok guys Im starting my research for for the tank Im going to be building starting sometime in March. Right now Im trying to get a list together of parts and things I need. So the Waterbox 70.3 is a 49 gal display and 22 gal sump. The tank is 36*20*18. It has DN25 Overflow and DN25 emergency overflow along with DN20 return. So appx 1" overflows and 3/4" return.
In the sump Im planning or obviously run a skimmer, a heater, and probably a fuge and some mud, possibly a reactor at some point. So Im going to make sure I have a manifold setup. My first question is Im trying to research return pumps. Everything Ive read has said 5-10x tank turnover minus head. So with that being said Im planning on possibly 10-15x which would be 500-750 gph, but with the possibility of running a fuge Im not a 100% certain, or should I just stay with the original 5-10x turnover?
Also Id prefer a controllable pump. Any particular brands to look at. Obviously price does matter a little but quality is a lot more important for me as well as customer service.
Thanks guys and gals
