I want to make this project as cheaply as possible:X
Head loss calculator says I need a Rio 600 = 67 GPH
FW right? You want to turn over you tank's total volume 5 times an hour so plan for more like 200 - 300 GPH after head loss is accounted for. This would take a pump rated for about 600 GPH, a RIO 1700+ should do it.
