Here is the sump design I am using. Please tell me if I will be able to use my Ampmaster 3000 for the return pump.
The tank is a 90gal (48"long, 24" tall, and 20"wide) drilled on one end for a 1.5" bulkhead.
I plan on dividing the tank in half. The first half will be for my refugium. It will share one of the overflows with the sump. The return pump will be a Maxi 1200 for now. I will build the tank divider in the center of the tank so that if the pump were to fail, the refugium will overflow into the sump. Otherwise the refugium and sump will be separate systems.
The second half of the sump will have a Euro-Reef CS8-3 in it. I plan on the first baffle being an 8" over, to keep the water level consistent. There will then be some more baffles to get rid of the bubbles.
