    Sump /fuge Input welcome

    Ok back on topic what about measurement wise on the sump do you think it is big enough? I was thinking about adding an extra section on the end to hold top off water and having it plumbed to the return area. Too complicated? Thanks for the tips Adam! Vary helpful!

    Closed loop info

    Sump /fuge Input welcome

    The reason i have it this way is because i plan on having a closed loop and dont want to have a ton of water thrashing through the fuge. So i was going to have seperate lines going to the skimmer and the fuge.
