Hi All,
I am in the process of building two tanks. A 150 aggressive and a 220 reef. Both are in different rooms but only separated by a 5x8 ft under stairs closet. So here is what I was thinking. I wanted to put a 55g or 75g frag tank in line with my filtration..... So here is the question. If this gets confusing I am sorry and I will try to explain better. A 220g reef with one over flow going into a 55g frag tank and the other flowing into a 125 sump/fuge. The 55g frag tank which is drilled then flowing into the same 125g sump/fuge. On top of all of that a 150g aggressive FOWLR tank flowing into the same 125g sump/fuge. Just having one massive skimmer, some fuge items, and then two separate return pumps to send the water back to the 220g reef DT and the 150g DT. What are the best return pumps for that length of run and head way. I can get specific measurements soon. Is this feasible or am I just asking for trouble by combining the systems?
