    I did a biginner mistake. I have a 120 24x24x48 and took about 3 months to build the stand sump wet/dry pluming the works. Well the mistake was i thought about price instead of what I really needed. i bought a reflo dart pump for the cerculation of the water but it is to weak. Now i have to go and spend more money on buying a new pump. i need recomendations what shhould i buy. All my plumbing for the tank is 1 inch and the return pump is 2inch. What should I get that is good on energy and can do a good job. in the plumbing i have only 2 90degree which are where the plubing goes over the overflow and back into the tank everythuing else i used whoses to not have 90 degress. What shound i get. Thanks alot on your input in advance

    I would step up to a Reeflo Hammerhead. It is 5,800 gph but can be dialed down with a valve after the outlet and then they use less electricity. I have 3 of them and they are great and super quiet plus will run mulit voltage for more kw savings.
