I am SLOWLY building a 120 gallon display tank. I have the Marine Depot 36 Trigger sump system that I am planning on using the fuge option as a chaeto area and a 20 gallon display fuge close to the DT with mangroves in it. The questions I have are:
Do I split the main syphon line off and run to display fuge, use an overflow, and then to chaeto fuge. What size pipe should I use.
What size return pump would I need?

Thanks for any and all advice.
 
Return pump will depend on size of sump and water flow needs. I would guess 785gph minimum with flow valve inline to control flow. No need to T it as your water will run thru chamber on the way to return pump if im picturing your intention
