SRC Member southpaw23 Posted August 29, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted August 29, 2007 Actually the six times turnover between tank and sump is sufficient. To assess this one needs to look at the whole purpose of the sump in the first place..its just a separate body of water connected to your main tank to externally house your equipment. As long as the flow rate in the sump is sufficient to meet the needs of the equipment being housed, it will serve it's purpose fine. Seeing that you're going with a Deltec 851 with a recommended flow rate of 1000 odd litres per hour, the 5000 or so litres of water flowing through your sump per hour is more than sufficient to feed your skimmer with fresh tank water to process. Plus, you mentioned a refugium in the centre compartment, if you go this route then you wouldnt wanna have too high a turnover anyways as refugiums normally has a gentle flow rate anyways.

Moderators thomas_lim Posted September 2, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2007 Kenny, Try not to mix your SPS tank with leather type of softies as they will "slime" over time and the "slime" release will cover and kill your SPS.
