Hello
I was just wondering if there is a way to determine how big a Filter, Protein Skimmer and Sump needs to be for a 200gallon tank. Is there any general rule I can use to determine how big, so I don't go ridiculosly over (like pool filter size).
I am not to sure what sort of Air Intake would be needed for a 200 Gallon tanks Skimmer (not to mention Octopus, I know they require a very high Oxygen level) so the Litres/Hour can help me there and Perhaps, a Litre/Hour in water turn over for Filters to help determine How big I CAN go, without it being far too big for the tank.
Thank You
