cpr wet dry opinions

[xjmike91]

I think i found the filtration i want to use with my 37gallon fowlr tank. I wana use the cpr cr900 wet/dry. Its rated for a 125g tank but fits beautifully in my stand with room to spare. Does anyone have experience with these becouse they look very well built and thicker than alot of sumps i saw and what over flow and pumps should i run. CPR has a few overflows and one is the cs90 that is rated for 600gph or there is the cs50 rated for 300gph. Cs90 has the same bulkhead size as the cr900 but idk if the cs90 is too much flow. And what pump and gph should i run them off of.

Thanx

This would work quite well as long as you don't use it as a wet/dry with bioballs. Use it as a sump and put in a refuge with rock/sand/macro algae and it will work great. I would go with the cs90. It is better to have high flow thru there than the 300 gph because you will probably never get the flow the overflow is rated for. Things like plumbing corners, whether you get a siphon effect, etc. affect actual flow. With the cs90 I would look into a MAG Drive 7 or 9.5, or Eheim 1262 or similar. Once you account for the head height or your aquarium plus plumbing you will not push nearly the amount those pumps are rated for so you should be in good shape.
