OK as some of you read in my old thread I had some problems because I was moving and couldn't take all tanks with me. Well the house we bought got cancelled and we decided to buy a different house. One that has the perfect basement, which will be home to my fish room. Our closing date is February 15.
Well ok my plans are to put 8x 75 gallon tanks. Reason being is 75 are the most cost effiecient and is the best size tank for a lone CA cichlid in each tank. 55 gallon are to small and 125 are bigger but in most cases will be a waste since only one fish will house each one due to aggression issues.
Anyways, I was planning on running 4 tanks to a sump therefore having two sumps. My tanks I usually try to keep up at 10x turnover but does that really take effect on this set up??? If I do a huge sump with lots of bio balls how much flow will I actually need??? I was thinking of putting a pump rated for lets say 1400gph then split with T's to 4 tanks. With head loss I assume each would be getting 400 gph. Would this due??? would more flow be needed??? anyone threads in here for people who made these???
How much bioballs would you assume I need??? what is the rating per gallon???
