Ocean View Overflows

Post by reefer21 »

anyone have any idea what the in-tank overflows from Ocean View are rated in GPH? I'm getting a new 100g from Ocean View and I need to know so that I can determine what size pump to get. I'm leading towards a Quiet One Pump. This pump will be used in a 20L sump.

from what the guys on here are saying if you want to run an in sump skimmer go with a smaller pump and don't put too much water through the sump. Get your flow with a closed loop or tunze or something similar. I have no idea what they are rated.

No idea here either but you can always widen the gaps with a dremel if your pump is too powerful, as long as your drain can handle it. What size are the drain bulkheads?

Don't know the exact number but it is a lot. Probably over 2000 gph. I have two and I have all but the top 1/4" blocked off to raise the water level. I run 600gph through the skimmer/sump.
