setting up a sump

[jon.smolders]

I have a 60 gallon FOWLER I am planning to put a sump on. I'm thinking of a mag 9.5 (950 gph (about 770gph after head loss)) and putting a ball valve on the return line to slow it down if I need to. That way if I upgrade to a bigger tank or decide to feed some kind of reactor off the return or whatever I have enough power to do so. You could do the same thing... go bigger and slow it down with a valve.
