I agree with medecine man. Turnover within the tank,ie. good circulation is key, but I have always used smaller system turnover. I don't know if I would go as low as one tank volume per day...I have always had great success and fewer bubble issues with a few tank turnovers per hour.
Like huge1day and hobogato, I would also encourage you to go bigger than one inch drains. There is always a small amount of buildup within the drains (slime, tiny encrustations etc) At 1.5 you are better protected against clogs...Personally I would only use 2 inches as a drain- just to be able to not have to ever think about drain narrowing and clogging..there's already enough to worry about when running a reef!
