I have a 30 gal sump. (65 gal main)
From the overflow going down into the sump. (outtake)
1st, I have 1 filter sock, 1 canister filter with just GFO and Carbon in separate layers/shelfs built in the canister. And last 20lbs of live rock.
2nd, section is the skimmer that I have blowing the water from its return back into the 1st section going over the live rock.
3rd, section is just a few sponges trapping out an bubbles.
4th, is then just the return.
_______________________________________
I have a 20 gal setup with a gravity effect allowing from a hose, water to go into the 20 gal than I drilled a hole in its side to than go over the live rocks in the sump. The 20 gal is 3/4 for frags and the other part is divided for a refugium. Have 1" sand for right now it the 20. (tons of pods, and mysis shrimp) 1 150watt HQI Viper k2.
My question is with the setup I have stated is the filter enough to run with out the sock?
