Return and Skimmer for a custom 160gal
Hi Slief,
Quick query on a new tank I’m building - what do you recommend as a skimmer from new 160 gallon using filter mat - is DC180 ok? And for return pump using a manifold to run 1 reactor and 1 calcium reactor, what size RD3 do you recommend? Could I get away with a 50 watt? |

Hi Slief,
One follow up questions as I design my sump - how much clearance do I need for the pump intake. I see the skimmer itself is 290mmX360mm. The sump is 45cm wide so that should be fine, but how long should the chamber be to allow sufficient area for water intake? Is 50mm enough? Many thanks. |
