    You would probably be happier in the long run with something like this...

    If you really want to go small look at the specs on this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46312&item=4361033262&tc=photo

    Out of those, I'd probably go with 700gph Mag. With head loss I'd guess you'd get around 600gph which is probably the max on your CPR overflow.

    actually the max is 1200 GPH on the cpr, would that be too much ? Keep in mind the 20 gallon tank was made into a sump/refuge 2/3 = refugium this is where the water enters and the last 1/3 is the sump where the water is pumped back out

    Curious, do you have it so you can control the flow to the refugium itself and have a bypass for the additional flow?
