I am considering replacing the sump/return pump that I currently have. Can someone point me in the direction of a thread or formula for calculating how many gph I need.
System specs:
- 54g corner w/ a 10-15g sump
- 1" overflow drain to sump
- pump is 48" from the water level
Also, any recommendations on brand/model would be helpful. I would like to get a really quiet pump that is pretty much hassle free. I have read good things about the larger Eheim pumps (1260, 1262). Are the smaller models (1046, 1048) or compact models (1000, 1001, 1002) just as good?
