Meg 12 Vs. Quiet one 5000 or other
I was wanting to add more flow throw my sump and was thinking on one of these pumps. I was using a Quiet one 4000 but it got a short in it so I temporally replaced it with a spare pump I had laying around and it needs to be replaced asap as there is almost no flow going through my sump right now. Have any of you used one of these pumps? How do you like it? I will need about 7 to 8 ft. of head. Will one of these pumps handle that or should I go bigger. My tank is a 125 with about a 60 gallon sump. What ever pump I use must be submersible. as I have no room for a external pump. Can a valve be used to adjust flow if I went to a bigger pump? I am sorry for all the questions but I want to get this right the fist time and I know that there are quite a few very knowledgeable people on here that should be able to give me some good advice
Thanks so much for all your help
