Sump

[BIGMONSTER]

hey guys im setting up a 30g sump and im wondering what should the GPH for the Overflow b0x and pump to pump it back be?

[craigthor]

Overflow should flow more than the pump can pump out or you could have some flooding issues. What size tank?

[BIGMONSTER]

150

What turnover rate are you targeting?

[BIGMONSTER]

at least 3 times per hour i think that is a good time or is it twen times perhour

then you just answered your own question- 3 times per hour would be 150g x3=450gph, 10 times per hour would be 150g x 10=1500gph. with all those fish you have in that relatively small tank id be pushing 1500gph through a 50-60g sump.
