I have a 75 gal FOWLR for now and due to space constraints the best I can do is a 15 gal sump with a 15 gal fuge. My question is will on overflow rated 600 gph split into 2, one for fuge and one for sump, with a pump rated around 600 gph be enough flow?
Thanks
 
IMHO too much flow... Throttle that pump down to 300gph and you might have better results. I have a 55gal and due to space I can only have a 7 gal sump and a 10 gal fuge. I do not T my overflow, my fuge/sump are connected via a bulkhead and tehn pumped back to the main tank.

The reason you want lower flow through your fuge and sump is to allow increased contact time with you skimmer/UV/Macro Algae Etc....
