I have my 20L frag tank connected to my 20L sump via an HOB overflow box. In addition, I have an Aquaclear 30 running on the frag tank primarily to run carbon. Could I just throw a bag of Chemipure in the overflow box and get rid of the Aquaclear 30?
Chemipure in HOB overflow box?

The carbon bag may work better in the sump near the return pump. I have a peice of eggcrate that sits above my return pump and I have my carbon bag laying there catching the water coming over the baffle. It is somewhat passive but that seems to work for me. 
The aquaclear30 may also be a good source of flow for your frag tank. 150 GPH is a good basic flow for a 15g. I would consider keeping it around as it can also be used for quick cleanup by adding a filter pad for a few hours after a "deep cleaning".
Thanks Sam! With the OR 2500 in the return I don't really have any extra room in there. Once I put the 2500 in with the original 1.25" u-tube it really blew everything around the tank so I was looking for a little less flow in there. That's why I'm questioning the placement of the Chemipure since I only have the AquaClear in there to run some carbon. I also have a minjet 404 blowing along the bottom. For now I've taken the OR2500 back out and put the QuietOne 1200 back in with the 5/8" u-tube. I going to get a spraybar and then try the OR again. Hopefully, the spraybar will diffuse the flow from the OR so it's not blowing everthing over.
Otherwise, I'll need to try a pump that runs arond 450gph and maybe a 3/4" or 1" u-tube.
