Linear overflow size?

spiff168 · 03/14/2006, 10:33 PM

Hi! I'm still in my pre-reef planning phase.

Just a couple of questions.

What is the recommended linear overflow size for a corresponding surface area of a tank? I mean, if the surface area of a tank is say, 960 sq. inches (48" x 20"), what should be the minimum linear overflow size?

Thanks!

That calculator will help you size the overflow, etc. You need to decide how much flow you want first.
