I have a 75 gallon tank with a single overflow. i am trying to design my own sump. My question is how much water should I allow for to return to the sump when the return pump is shut off. I'm sure there are variables but not sure where to start. Don't want do build it then have it overflow the first time I turn the return off.
I have 2 tanks I am considering to make a sump out of. 30x12x12 ... with a 8" depth while running give me a little over 6 gallons(6.2) when the return is off or a 24x12x16 with a 10" depth gives me 7.4 gallons when the return is off.
Thanks
