I know it cant be done and its past the magical number but heres the thing, I kept ALL types of coral and anemones and fish in here and guess what??? None of it did anything less than thrive! So i guess theres a minute possibility that when i drilled the tank for this setup and designed everything myself i had no clue what i was doing and it was just dumb luck, but im going to bank on the fact that I did know what i am doing and it works because its not too much flow.
The way the sump is designed, the one drain goes into the skimmer chamber and the other one i had going into the refugium and coming out of a pvc pipe that was drilled 18 times to create an even flow across the length of the filter, tumbling my cheato very nicely and creating an even distribution of water.
If you say a mag 9 will be the best, do the math. one overflow, one mag 9. = standard 75 gallon setup. so..... follow closely here.... TWOOOOOOOOOO overflowsssssss ====== douuuuuubbbbbbbllllleeeeeeeeeeeee the flowwwwwww. Soooooooo 9 times twooooooooo ======= 1......? oh yeah. 8. 18.
trust me. it works.
