    Do any of you use the Tunze silence 1073.05 as your return pump? I'm looking to buy this model for my return on my 75gal. I read it's head pressure is 4feet. But I've seen this used on bigger tanks.

    I don't use this pump so can not help you with the experience of using it. If 4 foot is the max head then that is the shut off point where the pump can not push the water any higher. You should check the Tunze site to see the pump's head profile to be safe.

    Agree with what 2in10 said. I would not use that pump if it really is only 4ft max head pressure.
