Anthony,
My question is similar to the one above regarding sump flow.
I am hoping to upggrade in the near future from my current 75 to a 180, and then use my 75 for my sump/fuge. The sump will have the skimmer section at one end, the fuge at the other end, and the return section in the middle. I am also planning on using a Reeflo Dart for a CL. With all the recent reading on sump flow I'm beginning to think that there's no need to buy a bigger return pump (currently using Mag9.5). I was also planning on having an overflow in each back corner of the tank with 1 1/2 drains. Is this unnecessary as well?
Can I just have one overflow in one corner(or center), split with a T feeding the skimmer and fuge sections (each controlled with a ball valve). Would this be the better thing to do?
Thanks,
Charley
