anyway, u really invested a lot on ur filtration. haha.. thumbs up. though personally, i wont bear to use such costly biological filter media in a sump. generally, flowrate is too high, besides the point that it's difficult to achieve uniform water distribution among e media, and the environment is kind of bright too. i will still prefer to load up these good media in a canister to cater to the biological filtration.
Yes. Flow rate using 1264 is 4500l/hr. And I also used Air stones in the sump to push up the water more uniformly. Coral life stopped production already according to C328. So I bought the UVC costing $200 plus.

Actually already have the holes. But that time you backed it against the walls, maybe you never noticed. Yes, the cannisters have some slight leak. Or it could be I didn't know how to connect properly, and there are too many wires to my liking. So dropped that idea. I also have some GYT in the overflow compartment where the bioballs are. Don't know if it helps with the nitrates.
