Another brain storm. I have a problem with the sump size being only 10 gal and need to fit in mechanical filtration.
Can a Magnum 220/350 canister filter be used as a return pump. This will give me good mechanical filtration and avoid the mag5 as a sump return. I guess I could put a valve on both lines (overflow and return) to control flow levels. What do you think?
Second, I could use the mag5 and T off the return and run it through the canister (mag 350 notswitched on) and return it to the sump. Would this work?
I'm trying to avoid extra pumps and electric bills. Thanks.
