    Default mag 3 for a lower powered return pump

    i got a mag 3 today which works, but i need to downgrade to a smaller pump because the pump is a bit too strong.

    you can add a valve to slowit down some, or a T-fitting to diperses some flow back to sump or adding flow to refugium.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...
