OK, getting a 8000 gph pump and throttlinhg it down with a ball valve a quarter turn to 2500.....no. That is no exact science by any means. I looked...
I think my Tunze is very consistent and reliable. However, there are plenty of times it does not shut off when I think it should. Like when the water...
Wait till you have thousands of them, they are not so cute then. I have harvested mine by the hundreds every so often. Can't stand it anymore. I've...
A Sicce powered skimmer will be good for what you have. The Bubble Magnus have been very good bargins. They work well. I think the SWCs are a little...
Ya, it's really about power use. Power heads are more efficient that return pumps. Closed loops are more efficient and no equipment. The educators...

Woo Hoo! It's full.
I don't see the need for sand in the HOB fuge. Do you have a HOB skimmer as well, or is that in your W/D? Are you just asking to get rid of the sump...
So you have a 125 now, and you will be adding a 75-90g sump fuge. You then want to leave room for going bigger in the future? How big do you want to...
You can't decide just by brand. They all have differnet products for different price points and capacities. I know lots of folks like their ASMs, but...
So.... a pump is rated for flow and pressure. I'm not even sure what the RPM requirement has to do with it. I mean..... sure, if you speed a pump up...
