Sump filtration question

Mrramsey · 02/08/2014, 07:22 AM

I am building a 120g mixed reef with a 55g sump. I have a BA overflow going into an intake chamber in the sump. The water then overflows into tray that will hold the filter socks. This allows for easy changing of the socks.

My question is this, would I be better off with 2 4" socks or one 7" sock?

Thanks

Well since I can't seem to find a 7x12 or shorter sock I guess I have my answer. 4" it is.
