Hi All -
I am about to start assembling all of the parts to my new 125G Acrylic w/ dual overflows.
My wife was asking "Why not use 2 20g sumps as opposed to 1 29g sump? That way if there is a problem on one side, we still have the 2nd running to do its job."
So I bring the question to the fine folks of RF.
My thoughts are - 1 sump for skimmer/heater/carbon/etc., and 1 sump/ fuge for LR, LS and Macro Algae. Separate overflow drains and separate return pumps.
Is there anything wrong with 2 sumps? Is there any real benefit?
Thanks,
Don
