Default go BIG

I push almost 5000 gph through my 150 gal, although most of it is through a closed loop. I use a super dart gold on my closed loop (4300 gph) and a little giant (730 gph) for my overflow, sometimes this doesn't seem like enough. I should have listened to Kevin and got the pump one size up, it's easy enough to throttle the pump down or to add a tee to supply other equipment. In my opinion, bigger is always better with a pump, dial it down a bit, sometime down the road, a little extra gph is a good thing. Just my thought,
Bob
