Need a little help with a few things

Hello,

I am planning a 29g reef with a 10g sump. For an overflow, do you guys like the gl******* kits? Would the nano be large enough for me?

As far as a return pumps, what kind of gph should I be looking at?

One other question, I already have a 36" nova extreme 4 bulb fixture. Will this be enough light? Is it OK to use a glass top to cut down on evaporation?

Thank you,
Aaron

a 29gallon is only about 30inches long so your lights will overhang on the sides then. As far as pumps could go with like a mag 1.5 its rated at 140gph and with head loss and depends on how pipe it could work. There is a lot of 29 gallon tank all in ones like the bioocube and many others if you just do a google search a bunch will pop up

I love my GH overflow. Well built and works like a champ.

I hate the AIO tanks, especially the ones with the curved side glass. The distortion is terrible.

Yeah it overhangs, but it does not look that bad. I would rather deal with the overhang than buy a new light.
