fuge drain question

[annanymous]

planning my 75gal SPS tank. have a standard RR 75. wondering if flow rates for fuge 4-5x is good enough (in addition to power heads to bring it to about 70-80x).
Also, is EHEIM compact a good pump to use as submersible for return pipe?

TIA

bump? any help appreciated

Eheim pumps are very good on quiet side as well
A slower flow through fuge is preferred by many who have one

so considering Im planing a 20gal sump/fuge contraption, what would be a good flow rate? thans

I'm not an sps guy, not too sure to be honest but gets ya another bump to the top.

What do you plan on using to create flow? Vortech,tunze, koralia?
My current tank is approx 5/6 x turn over but no corals as of now. I would check tank threads for sps dominant tank and see what they do in terms of t/o rate and flow

I definitely plan on Vortechs in the future, but am considering a closed loop to add flow for now. Problem is, back when I was in this hobby, closed loops were very popular. Now I can barely find any threads that have them. Not really sure y not cuz it seems like a good option to me. I've been "stalking" SPS threads for a while now just reading on what other people have
