Wet/Dry Filtration Question

[Skyeler]

Can the gallons per hour be lower in a wet/dry scenario than in a sump alone situation?
(freshwater)

100 gallon tank- 20 gallon sump-400 gph
100 gallon tank- 20 gallon wet/dry-200 gph

is this correct?

I plan on having 10 rainbowfish or so. and a pleco. the tank will be planted.

 

[Skyeler]

should I be going for a canister instead?

 

[Gill Blue]

you can take either situation - 100 gallon tank- 20 gallon sump or 100 gallon tank- 20 gallon wet/dry at 1GPH to 5000GPH+... what are you asking?

 

[Skyeler]

so my gph can be lower in a wet/dry situation?

 

[Skyeler]

thats what im asking

Your gph can be higher... or lower... or the same. It's entirely up to you. 200 gph at whatever your head height is should probably be a minimum in either filter for a 100g tank but you could go as high as you like.
