Flow rate

[Proteus]

I'm trying to line up all my equip for a upgrade an need to no what size of return pump. I have a 180 gallon tank with a 60 gallon sump/fuge. Two 1-1/2" drains

Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated

Sump size and amount of room available for pump? Budget? Noise level requirements? Internal/External?

A typical return pump for the tank size is a reeflo dart or something similar but it depends on the above.

I have lots of room in sump as pump it internal and would prefer a fairly quite pump just was wondering if there is a turnover rate for water cycle. Like 5x the volume of system

Would 1500gph be sufficient

I would go higher so you can drive other reactors with it
MAG 18 or Mag 24

Having said that. The 1500 is okay as long as the internal circ(closed loop) is high

Thanks Wayne. I was contemplating running separate pump for reactor but one with a manifold might be a good idea

Also Wayne I talked to you at Bwa about lords. You have any frags at all
