Same here, but I am considering a "Halo" or something to eliminate/reduce light spill. Tired of being blinded by 750W while watching TV LOL

So here is the latest dilemma.

I thought my little aqua bee was not cutting the pace so upscaled to a Tunze silence 700GHP (ok not so silent compared to the aqua bee)

My dilemma is this

The sump is about 10 gallon, so would you

A, High flow.
Or
B slow is best?

I am leaning towards slow as if nothing else the tank seems calmer in terms of noise.

i have like 350 GPH going through my 5G sump

[Aqua-Digital]

Is there a right or wrong though? Does a skimmer perform better with higher flow than lower flow?

My skimmer seems to be performing better at high flow, but could just be me LOL.

Interested to know if there is a right or wrong or just, whatever you prefer.

Mike IMO and IME slow flow through a sump is alot better in getting the crap out faster and heating the water too.

[Aqua-Digital]

But how slow is slow?

I was pulling about 25 gals an hour through the 10 gallon sump before

[Skimmerking]

well that is pretty slow then so i would keep it at that .
