So I think I have my wife talked into letting me put the sump in the basement. I am going to have about 14' -16' of head when all is said and done. I have two options:
1. Use the mag 18 on a closed loop plumbed under tank. And move about 500 gph from the basement. Still get mag noise, but it gets rid of the Euroreef noise.
2. Put a big Tim Taylor pump in the basement and sell the mag 18.
The tank is a 75 Gal w 33 gal sump/fuge, I am also thinking about putting a rubbermaid in line to add more water quantity.
I am looking for opinions as to which way you would do this. As well what pump would you use and why. Noise is not a big factor as it will be in an insulated room in the basement. Price is the driving factor as the VP Finance has to approve this.
Thanks for your help folks.
Cheers,
Al
