    then get LFS to drill new hole or do yourself and glue another overflow in place. you will need more than 600 gph in a 120. i have 600 in a 55gal :-/

    The more flow the better. Aquaboy is correct. I am running over 900 gph on a 50 g with 20 g fuge/sump.

    I run 11,600gph between the sump and closed loop. I have 4 1" bulkheads that run 1 1/4" standpipes that drain to the sump. You need another OF if you are going to keep sps's in that tank or you can plumb you a CL in.
