Hey, kids: almost time to relocate the 12 gallon nano for renovations. All water params are in check, but I have an eclipse hood intake, intank skimmer, heater & can't wait to remove. therefore, a stand & sump are in the plans, as well as new hood to mount my lighting.

I do not want to drill the tank, (ok I DO, but not a feasible option) I have BakPak2 in house, as well as a lifereef overflow & return setup on the way in the mail.
sump size & water turnover for a 12 gallon nano reef
What size sump would you folks recommend & what rate of turnover should I go for? Options I am considering are the ecosustem 2410 sump, or a custom job sump/refugium setup.

Since I plan on a larger stand than the 20x10 size of the tank's footprint, I can go with a sump larger than the tank itself with some serious DSB/amcro, etc.

Since the stand hasn't been ordered yet, through my your thoughts...
