I am building a new sump and was thinking about putting the fuge in the middle. If I did then my entire turnover would go through it (about 600 gallons/hr) that seems a little high. What do you think?
Whats the fuge for... Will you be growing macro in it? Will there be a DSB in it? LR in it?
IMO/IME any fuge should have a relatively slow turn-over rate, but if its going to be faster I'd recommend just chaeto algae... no DSB and no LR. This will allow the macro to "tumble" in the higher flow allowing for better growth and light coverage.
