what can i do to make this happened? i wanna keep the bioballs and such.
reason im asking is im running a 20g long refugium with a mag 9.5 and there are so much bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my baffles suck! lol
IMO the pump is to big. i guess i gotta get a smaller one. i put a ball valve to see if it work and it didnt
. what you guys think? a smaller pump or get a wet dry and make it a fuge to.
heres my sump now:

Ya that would work but it is the same thing as the filter sock, only harder to clean.
One thing to note: micro bubbles happen in new tanks some times.
And the only way you could have too big of a pump is if your drain can't handle the flow. Other wise it's all good. How big of a drain pipe do you have? 1"? If so then it can handle the mag 9 no problem.

Wait sorry about that edit about the mag 9 working. 1 inch pipe can handle roughly 400 gallons an hour. You're pushing 600.
But you have it dialed back and this thread isn't about the pump lol. (but I'd go for the 6)
Anywho, bioballs are lame; you had a bio-cube you should know this!
