HELP: determine pump size for sump/refugium

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't like power heads in my display. And power heads are more expensive than the pumps you run in the sump.

Slow flow for bio is an issue in canisters because they're so small compared to tank volume. That issue goes away in a sump.

10 times tank turnover is not moving through a sump so fast your BB can't grab ammonia. In a 4 inch diameter can, it could be.

Bernouilli's equation.
