True, but 2000 GPH+ through a sump that holds a 600 GPH skimmer is just a waste of energy and is noisier than need be.

Use a closed loop or power heads for DT flow. I have a 4500 GPH closed loop and keep sump turnover to a minimum.

Water needs time in the sump to make use of LR, refugium, skimmer, and all the other goodies in there.

I will offer no argument to that, haha.
