    44 gallons. The reason I can have so much flow is because I can control how much flow goes through the refugium. I also have a 2" overflow so that can handle much more gph than what I am pushing now.

    Here is a pic (I got the design of melevsreef.com)

    Thanks, credit goes too melevsreef and a LFS. Even though my flow comes from the return pump, I still recommend and in retrospect would have gone with a separate pump for the closed loop (more flexibility).
