quiet 1 4000 High Head might do it economically...

The number one issue I founf in my research when i was looking to do this same thing is noise from vibration in the wall and resonating through it to different parts of the house...


My house is 60 years old, well built but poorly insulated by todays standards. so this really made me decide to just run sperate systems.

I helped set this sump up for a friend. We used a Reeflo Barracuda as the return pump to send water up to the next floor where her tank is.

Where is the "going upstairs part". It looks like it is just looping back into the tank? Maybe I just missed something...

The return curves under the refugium light to the far wall where it goes up through a hole in the floor to the tank. She put the light in, I just did the stand and plumbing.
