Need help plumping sump in basement

[codydemmel4]

Hello!

So I am finally going to be done renting in a week and going to be owning a home! I want to have my sump in my basement after I reinforce the floors on the main level for the tank. Finally think I got that taken care of so now for the sump.

I want to have the sump in the basement that will be around 5 feet down from the first floor which all in all is around 10 feet down from the top of the tank. I also will be having the sump around 6-8 feet to the left of the tank because right before it is where the oil tank is so it is not possible to put the sump right below it.

are there any return pumps that will be able to push this much water pressure? I was looking at the mag 24 but it says the max height is 10 feet.

Also for the plumbing do you guys think it makes the most sense to use hard pvc and go straight to the top of the basement and then over to the tank or over first and then straight up to the tank? Or do you think it makes most sense to have flexible pvc going on an angle to the tank but having hard pvc coming down from the tank to the sump.

I greatly appreciate any insight from anyone and of course please recommend return pumps for this job. (anything but the Abyzz, cant imagine paying that much haha)

I would really like an internal pump so I do not have to plumb the sump.

There are lots of options for pumps. I run an Iwaki 70rlt from the basement up to the main tank. Reeflo is also a good choice as well. These are all external pumps.

I used a Mag 18 for a bit from my basement, as well as a Jebao DC12000. They were just there until I hooked up a RD3-230. The thing is silent and pushes plenty water for my 150.

How far was the mag 18 from the top of the overflow and was it a straight down shot or did you have it to the side?

I have my sump in the basement for my 180. I use a Jebao DCS9000 and it works fine. Also plumbed through a manifold:

Straight down about 10 feet, with a few elbows to get in the tank.

very very nice tank. is this straight down?

I am thinking of going with a Reeflo (hammerhead/Barracuda Hybrid) or a PanWorld 250PS pump.

Only problem is that both are these are external pumps and I was really hoping to have an internal pump as I will now have to get the sump drilled.

[terry4505]

No, the plumbing runs about 12 feet to the left before entering the sump, then back up. I used to have external pumps, and am now a huge fan of internal DC pumps (I'm using the Jebao DCS9000)

Drilling is easy. Just go real easy on the pressure and remember, you aren't drilling, you're sanding.
