55 gallon build with a 20 gallon sump

Barracuda68 · 04/26/2014, 05:01 PM

Do you think a magdrive 9.5 would be big enough for a return pump for my system? Also looking at jeabo mp10's x 2 for wave makers. Do you think yhat would work?
I am planning on having a refugium in one side of the sump with the pump returning to the display tank and also trickling into the refuge.

Advice please.. And thank you

I would say those should work fine. I have a 55 plumbed to two 20 gallon tanks. One is a fuge/reactor section, and the other is a skimmer/filter sock section.
