450 setup - some filtration questions

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm setting up my 450 glass 72"60"24"

I filled in the chips in he bulkhead holes with Bondic at one of your suggestions and then siliconed the bulkheads into place.

Filtration questions:
1. Originally I was going to setup an in line system with a refugium 55 gallon and 75 sump but the plumbing proved easier to set up the refugium coming off the sump.

Do you think a fluidized 75 gallon sump will be enough for the tank?

2. Any suggestions for overflow boxes? I currently just have pipe at the returns. I'll post pictures. My return pump is adjustable but rated for up to 3900 Gph.

3. Less concerning, any suggestions on making the piping less obtrusive? The way it was initially drilled makes it difficult.

4. Finally, any other suggestions that you have that I'm overlooking? Thanks

I would look into larger plumbing for your return lines. The size of that line looks like it will be quite restrictive. What size lines are those?
