The 90 thread

Yea I am anxious to see his response as well. I was originally going with a Mag 9.5 or a silence 1073.040.

 

i went with a mag 9.5 and it is turned down by probably half because the overflow can't hand the GPH. i would go with a 7 if i could do it over again. It is also true about the off center overflow. It does get in the way for scaping and flow...

 

2in10 doesnt have a 90 gallon tank...just sayin

 

Lol. But I'd rather have his experience talk to us rather than us learn through failure.

I was looking at return pumps in the range of about 800-1000 gph with 4' head, but after his responses, I'm now looking at something between 400-500. Lighter on the wallet too. ;D

 

I totally understand. John has got mad skills and knowledge. I just wanted to make sure nobody was confused.

And yes, it's a great idea to not have a rushing river in your sump...

 

Hey all, from John's thread, and he has a 75gal w/30 sump.

(thanks John)

 

Thanks Dowtish, I run a Rio 8HF. My sump holds 30 gallons and the pump produces 270gph at 4ft head.

 

Actually the sump is a 40 breeder. 30 gallons is the calculated holding volume as set up.

 

Thanks John! I will look into it as well!!!

 

Thanks John. I think I'm going to go with a Tunze Silence 1073.020 and turn it down just because of how little power it draws and the price.
