OK so I am gonna be ordering a 600g soon and need to start planning filtration and setup so i don't make any mistakes because tank will be in a wall and plumbing will be hard to access once running,
As of right now I plan to run a 125g sump maybe about 40-50g of bio balls. I am going to get the tank drilled with 4-5 2" bulkheads I was thinking 2 for the overflows 1-2 for pump returns and 1 extra capped if needed in the future. I was looking @ a 8x turnover rate roughly 5000gph. I have no idea what pumps I am going to use yet but I do know that I have 2 magdrives on my 300g and they generate way too much heat in the sump I havn't had my heaters plugged in for months So any opinions would be great
