recommend a pump??

[fishface]

bumma! those are some serious pumps we're talking then aren't we? maybe i'll just have to continue to perform the "bucket parade" up and down the stairs after all

what if i went to 1/2" tubing? would that make much difference?

There's lots of pumps that can handle a 10' head, chk this link and open the more info to get the curves. Can also look at RC's head loss calculator.

Don't forget to look through the Buy and Sell section, some good ones there such as http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=27854

hey thanks for that. you don't deliver do ya? cause i'd like to take that off yer hands

[fishface]

so the headloss calculator's minimum diameter output is 3/4" smallest. is it completely unreasonable to make that work with a 1/4" output line...even with a larger pump?

No cause of the pressure you would create on the pump

How is your current ATO setup?

Also, you don't need a monsterous pump, just one with a high pressure rating...unless you want the water to fill up really fast. Check out something along the lines of Iwaki 40RLT or an Iwaki 20RLZT to get an idea. You can get either of those pumps for a pretty good price from time to time on CanReef.

But, if you want a big pump, I know someone who has an Iwaki 100RLT for sale...
