So i am thinking a 20 gallon sump is as big as i want to go. I would go bigger but I need places to store my other items as my puppy chews anything and everything lol. So heres the question of the day. The tank I am wanting to use is a 20 gallon tall. So I am thinking intake, refugium, return pump. All seperated by 2 baffles from intake to refugium, then two more to the return pump.
As for equipment I am thinking, a bubble magus skimmer, hydro koralia power heads and mag drive pump.
Powerheads will be at least 750gph each, pump 1800gph. That should give me at flow rate of close to 20x's in a 77gal. Should this be enough to keep a reef tank and not just a fish tank. Also I am not sure I want to buy a RO/DI unit yet so I am wondering if I use prime and let the water sit for awhile in a holding barrel, would that be ok? Just we need a new window in our livingroom before a RO/DI unit.
