Love my tanks!
Ok so I think I am comfortable making my own sump out of a fish tank now. My question is how to tell how big to make the overflow setup. In doing some research it was indicated to me that the overflow should be rated slightly larger than your return pumps capacity to return the water. (I can now see why drilling a tank is far better than HOB with siphon). How true is that statement on the rating and I know this is going to be overkill but I have a pond pump that I didnt use that I am planning on using in this tank. It has a maximum 1550 gph and is adjustable from zero up. On that note...on a 150 gallon tank is there a recommended return rate and should my overflow be an overkill as well to match my overkill pump haha :D Help shed some light if you could plz
