hey there,
i have a 220g and need to up my circulation. right now all i have is about 800 gph going to my sump where my euroreef 12-1 skimmer is, if i up the flow to my sump and skimmer will it hurt its performance?
i was thinking of going up to about 2500gph total circulation and all of that would go through my sump. what has confused me is the fact that a girl at euroreef said that euroreef recommends that a ratio of 3:1 total tank volume water should pass by the skimmer. so does a skimmer need to be placed in slow flowing water to perform better? im not talking about to the skimmer directly, just surrounding it.
thanks
brandon
