Circulation Pump - 1600

72 gal 450-550 cirt pump

Aqueon Circulation Pump - 1600gpH, is this pump going to suck my little clown fish up ? with no guard on the front can he swim into it ?
hes small enough to fit though the output side of the pump.


website wont let me upload pic's today

 

king, you're not much of a "king" if you need someone to answer this for you. What would happen if a large snail or 2 small snails decided to cruise the pump intake?

DON'T DO IT!!

 

never had a snail/salt tank before this week, not sure scorgo i guess.
can stuff get stuck to the side of the pump IE should i remove a snail if on the pump ??
if my cute little clown swims in the front "blade output " im going to be pissed.
1600 gph he would be sushi,
and i think hes a strong enif swimmer to do it ...

dude y cant i upload pic's anymore ? this site is starting to blow bubbles---<oOOoO

 

I suggest you fix this mistake to not confuse others as they read this one. Big difference b/w 1600gph & 1600GPM.

lol. Are you trying to upload photos directly from a site to here(the forum)? Try using a photo sharing site like flickr or phot bucket.

 

I wish I could get a pump with that much flow. But that would be running more than just circulating water from the sump(i.e. chiller, reactors, etc)

That is a lot of flow..

 

You should always have a strainer of some sort to protect your pump & live stock. It's it's not the site, it's you...

Is this the pump you are talking about? I have two Hydor #2's with 600GPH & that is fine in my 90gal.

 

What's the flow rate in that tank CJ?

 

What tank buddy?

 

ok so what do I put over the front of it ?

hows it me? it let me upload a few pic's form my desk top now no dice?
explain it to me ???

 

so is my pump to big for a 72 bow ?
