Does anyone know where to find tank outflow charts? Attached photos show my 40gal tank and new sump/skimmer. The third photo shows the sump cabinet that I have built into the wall behind the tank.
The 40 gal tank has a bulkhead outflow that can be set up with a fitting for 1", 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" PVC down into the sump. Plans are to use a Mag 5 for the Aqua C EV-120 skimmer and a Mag 9.5 to pump up 3' [split through a SCWD] back into the tank.
The math works out to +/- 750 GPH back into the tank. [Mag 5 pumping up 3' = 950 GPH less 20% for the SCWD] Would like to end up with +/- 600 GPH flowing down from the tank.
Would really like this system to be QUIET. Any thoughts on this? Maybe two
Eheim's insted of the Mag 5 and Mag 9.5 pumps?
Have learned so much from and have great respect for this Aquaria Central forum. Any info and/or comments will be appreciated and incorporated!
Will post the final sump design soon...
