    Which is better? 2 pumps in 1 skimmer or 1 skimmer with big pump

    Perfecting my sump + refugium

    You don't need a bigger fuge. 10% of the DT is fine. Sump volume is one thing, but a bigger fuge is not always better. If you really want to redo...

    New sump/fuge/skimmer up and running!
