Pump Flow Rate & Tank Size

Lighthouse Aro · 19-04-2018, 01:44 AM

I am planning for either a 522 or 422 tank with sump filtration. Keeping Aro. Previously I was using OHF. I am new to Sump filtration. Hope you guys don't mind if I asked some basic questions.

What is the ideal pump flow rate for these 2 tanks? Sump tank volume must also be included correct?

Is 5 cycles of filtration per min sufficient? Any difference for adult or juvenile Aros?

Any brands to recommend? Eheim seems popular.

Need additional Air pump for this size tanks?

Thanks!
