So far it was just the hose... I need to finish building the stand so that the tanks are off the ground and then run a hose to the pumps tosee if they fill fast enough to "flush." I think the LG will, and hopefully the Sedra as well (then if nothing else they can be my "night" pumps and I will buy a dart or the likes for the day... it is all experimental. I will let you know if a day or two how they turned out.

Sorry Mr.OM;
I did not time it- but just around 2:00 ( the tap was not on full. The stand is now built, so very soon I will know what it needs to "flush." I am going to run the surges pumping straight from my display tank for the first tests. I still need to do a lot of plumbing before it is actually "done." Pictures of the stand for two of the surges (the celing in the basement is lower than I would like.)

I would seriously oversize the overflows in the DT, when either of those surges kick in they will become siphons and dump very quickly a 2" siphon will be too much for a standard 1 1/2 drain even if you have two of them, unless there is a ton of room in the display to handle the new volume of water rushing in.

Sweet someone else who plays with surges
 I noticed my carlson surge required a overhaul once I added salt to the mix - worth keeping in mind... If you want - I've got a 65g (36x18x24) sitting around the side of the house that has a cracked corner on the bottom - yours for the price of picking it up If free/repairs required is still enticing you...Cant wait to see how yours works
