Plumbing into the basement
Alright,
So I have my Display tank on the main floor of my house. It's nothing huge, just a 72 gallon bowfront.
In the near future I would like to plumb my sump in the basement. The issue is my tank is in the center of my main floor, and I would like to have my sump in the corner where my fish room will be. I will need 23' of pvp to get it there.
What size of pvp should I use? 1"? 2"? Flex pvc? pvc pipe?
What pump should I buy? I know I will need one with a good amount of head ratio, but I also need one that won't kill me in electric bills. Any suggestions?
I would say my pvc pipe will go up 3' from my sump, then straight for a good 20', then I will have a 90 degree elbow, 2'of pvc, then another elbow, 1' of pvc, another elbow to the tank.
How do I even go about calculating head with that? How many ball valves and other valves would you recommend?
thanks for the help!
