Sump pump.

What is the best sump pump for a 25G sump to a 75G show tank? I know I will need 700+gph. But I'm looking for is something you may have/had that has worked for you? Any info is an asset..

 

I use a Catalina brand pump, cheap, stays cool, great head pressure.
A lot of people use mags, ehim pumps and quite ones as well.

 

I use the Marineland line.

They make a complete line, and also the MaxiJet power heads and fans.

I currently use the 5500 on my 125 with 50g sump.

 

Eheim 1260 or 1262 or Ocean Runner 2500 or 3500.

 

Quiet one..been running 24/7 for 4 years...zero problems and i only take it offline once a year for a clean.

 

I have had two, not just one but two, Quiet Ones go up in flames. By that I mean fire and all. One is a fluke but two is bad quality.

 

It depends on what your head loss will be. Tamm Rio has good pumps that aren't as expensive as most others. I have to Rio 20hf. It puts out 870gph at 6' of head loss. I know AZDesertRat said he had 2 quiet one pumps go up in flames, but I know a guy that has been running 2 for years with no problems.

 

If you can go external reeflo is a great choice

 

i run a mag 7 on my 75 with a 40b sump. only using 26 gallons of it tho. its quiet i cant hear it at all over my skimmer. no vibrations, or anything. and i have an open stand so have no choice but to hear it...

 

Nahh erything will be in the sump.
