The Why Oh Why...38 stairs, 290 Tank Build

[reefwithareefer]

Not sure if anyone wnts to chime in and offer an opinion, but I am not sure if this is the way to go or not.

This is how I want to set up my return pumps...




I have pan world 250 PS running for my 180 gal that will be coming down.
I have a spare Panworld 150Ps

The 250 is good for 1900 GPH and the 150 is rated at 1100 GPH.
I figure with head pressure etc etc. I should be good for 2400GPH

I figure I can have them hooked up to the Apex, which will allow me to have one or both pumps running at the same time. My thinking is that there will be a built in spare, so if one dies, the other is there

I was also thinking that I could just run the smaller one at night and the larger during the day, or even both during the day. I think it gives me options and I can not see a downfall.


Anyone want to offer up some advice or concerns?
