I am basing my decision on the overflow calculator on RC... I believe the premise is you need a certian amount of linear inches to handle the water volume... anybody else have any thoughts or experiences?

Cheers

Default Change of plans

I changed my plan a bit...

I will now have the CL intake in the bottom pane of glass go to a manifold then have 4 1 " exits into the tank with 1" bulkheads via spa flex tubing Closed loop wil be fed by sequence dart

the overflow will have a 1 1/2" drain and a 1" return which will be split inside the overflow and exit out of each side of the overflow box.
The drain will be split to feed the ASM G4X with recirc mod and gate valve mod. A Ball valve will be be used to create enough pressure to feed the skimmer
returning from the sump will be a MAK 4 Through the chiller and into a 1" bulkhead in the overflow box via spa flex tubing.
I plan to have a thin layer of sand and some LR and Macro in the sump... might try a mangrove pod just for the fun of it.
Any comments?
