I personaly like using the half of the DT ratio. I dont recommend plexi/acrylic with glass. The return pump really depends on you and what kind of filteration your going to have. For ex, I have a 90g DT and I use a Magdrive 18 that pushes 1800gph. If your planning on having a refugium as the main filteration, then you must slow down the flow.
