How about this instead. The 1800. Or should I get the one under the 1800?

I am ordering the 1200

 

I am getting ready to order but have a couple questions.

1st. How is the powerhead I posted above me? The lowest model.

2nd. How much water change is needed in a 65 gallon?

3rd. If over 5 gallon water change what do I mix it in?

 

i do 10 gallon water changes with a maxi jet 1200 there pretty cheap.

 

This is my idea if you like it use it . I bought the same size pump to mix my water that I use for my return from my sump. That may seem excessive but here are the reasons (1) if my main pump from my sump fails in the middle of the night or some other weird time I already have a backup waiting. (2) I can transfer water from my tank and to my tank at the exact same rate. So when I do a water change I set up the new water with the spare " same size pump" and hose of the same length. Then I set up an empty 30 gallon pail put my return water in that can and plug both pumps in and my water changes at the same rate that it goes in. I have 2 30 gallon cans and one is for dirty water one is my make up RODI water mix.8)
