Those w/basement sumps. What Return pump are you using?

[Capt_Cully]

Just like it says, I've got a 180 in the works. Looking for an efficient return pump from basement sump to display. What's everyone running?

[coolkidtr]

How many feet of head are you dealing with? Is the return pump going to be running anything else? I would be looking for a pressure pump.

Hey Capt. I'm in the same boat as you. I runnning the same tank w/ the same problem. I'm going to have at the very least 20' of head so I was thinking of going w/ a sequence hammerhead. They have good head ratings and use less power.

[Capt_Cully]

I've been eyeballing the sequence pumps. Love my blueline. Just need to figure out my plumbing before I can calculate the head pressure. Definitely a pain, but I gotta get it right on the first try. Don't want to have to do it twice.

I have two sequence pumps, one for a closed loop hooked up to OM4, the other for flow through the sump. (model 4200 and a 5000 i think?)

I'm really amazed that they just keep running 24/7. I clean them rarely and when I do they didn't really need it.

I am useing a dart to go up a floor to my 280 and find it to not be quite enough power, and am now looking at going to the barracuda.

I'm using an Iwaki MD100RLT with about 17 ' head and couldn't be happier. I like using Sequence pumps for closed loops and Iwaki pumps for the main work horse.

PanWorld 200PS. Runs great. I cleaned it for the first time in two years a few weeks ago.

I personally don't have a large tank but my LFS uses a jacuzzi pump for the entire store
