Sump/Return Pump Question

[phi delt reefer]

you dont even need that much but yeah it will be fine. You will need an ATO to keep your water level consistent though. You can put a valve on the pump to turn it down OR tee it off to run some reactors and divert a portion of the flow.

The pump was bought before the tank as I was originally going for a 70g tank. Do you think it would be better to get a smaller pump or throttle it back one way or another?

Just stick a valve after the pump and you can throttle it back and find your sweet spot

[phi delt reefer]

you will have some head loss and depending on how you set-up your plumbing further losses from 90's and what not. Just throttle it back or tee it off to recirculate back to the fuge or a reactor. You dont need to downgrade

The 1262 is certainly a little louder than their smaller models. It's certainly more than enough flow. I run one on my 110g system.
