flow rate in two tank (main tank and sump).

Main tank => higher flow rate pump(not till stress the aro) require for push the poo poo and ammonia to sump.


sump = > maintain optimium flow rate for BB to grow and nitrifying ammonia to nitrite to nitrate. the question is how to maintain as time to time the 1st, 2nd , 3rd comp will clog or slow down the flows.....

by adding flow meter to monitor the flow rate in each comp? and regular sump maintenance once flow rate affected?

the objective is to reduce or remove ammonia and nitrite lvl in sump before back to main tank.
