So, I'm slowly accumulating what I need to set up a new SW tank, I've still got a few questions, but I'm figuring out what I want as I go. I've had freshwater tanks for a while, but this is my first go at a SW tank.
I've got a:
75g All-Glass tank
--and--
30g Long (for sump below)
I bought a 2nd hand external overflow (650 GPH)
& was given a:
Via Aqua Multi-skimmer with 5w UV (& Protein Skimmer)
--and--
an Emperor 400 double bio wheel
--and I already had--
an Emperor 280 Bio wheel
& am in the process of setting up the sump.
---------------------
I guess my current question is more along the lines of whether it is possible to over filter the water??
I was planning on constructing the sump with a pre-filter box, a pair of baffles, a refugium area & a return pump box.
I was planning on using a submersible pump. but am not sure what kind/size to use. Obviously I don't want something pumping up faster than it will return.
-----------------------
Perhaps you can answere these questions as a start
Thanks in advance.
