Would a 20 gallon (of course it will not be full, probably add 10 gallons to the water capacity) fuge/sump be enough for a 75Gal tank?

What is a good rule of thumb for turnover? 75Gal X 15times per hour????? too much too little, what would I need for my 75..


First Fuge/Sump if you can't tell.

Thank all! :-D

More is better. Dilution is the solution to pollution...

My flow tends to be limited to what my overflow can move and then I have to limit flow to give my creature the ability to swim and not just stick to the glass.

I believe the reccomended amount is 20% of total tank volume...

If you are thinking of setting a fuge up for the first time, I would suggest checking out the reef invertebrates book by finner and calfo, it has an entire section dedicated to refugiums.
