Just picked up a huge tank from a deal off craigslist. Came with a million little parts for the sump and does put look like it has ever been fully put together. To start things off it came with a 4 foot 90 gallon sump a dolphin 1200 gph pump, 700 gph submersible pump and what looks like another submersible pump probably around the same capacity as the other with like 8 buckets of these bio balls.
The tank is drilled with four holes along the back. Doesn't look to be any overflows along the back. The sump is drilled in the side for the return lines I assume.
I have never used a sump but I would like to make a project out of it.
With this kind of sump what would the best size return pipe be, as well as the overflow. I plan on using the dolphin on one return and then use both the submersible on the other return. As far as placement goes in the sump of the different sections of filtration and the glass with the holes in it I have no idea yet.
I'd appreciate some input and advice, thanks!
