Wet/Dry Users: What Size Sump and Filter Flow Rate are you using?

Why is this interesting to see... your not asking the correct questions to find out WHY these sump sizes and flow rates are so different from person to person.

What are you trying to learn from this question (Like i don't already know , but for the benefit of everyone else)

ya, what do you wanna know?



55 gal sump....~870 GPH (w/ other filtration) on a 210

Amazed there isn't any high flow rates.....

It's not necessary

A wet/dry is meant to be slow, hence the original name "trickle filter". A sump, on the other hand is a wet/dry filter without the media that became popular with reefers. I also am not sure what you're trying to figure out?

So why do people even bother trying to achieve a 10X turnover rate?

I would like to know, too. Most times, it's not necessary, but for certain fish it's a good safety net. Depends on what type of filtration, too.
