Pumps for 125? Closed loop and return

I don't think it's a significant concern. Although I would never run a DC pump internal.

 

Very good points Lee! Yah I forgot my tunze 6101 is DC!

Cool Jason! I'm off all day tomorrow if you wanna stop by in the afternoon or the am! You got my addy?

 

Yah I was aware of that, I've been with Elliot the past couple of days and mentioned you had been in contact with him. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll have a small window of time to see you on Friday if you want to get cracking on that project right away, otherwise we can meet up on Saturday! I'll PM ya later!

 

Yah I think that 3500 is going to be fine, it has an impressive curve. According to the diagram it's doing 950gph @ 5' head pressure. @ 0 it's output is 1100gph. So whether you use that one or the one I have for the cl or return you're going to have similar results and I think either way it bodes well for this application.

 

Agree the 3500 should be sufficient for a return and maybe 1 other low flow reactor if you ever needed to tee it off. I think the larger size would be NICE to have so you would have the extra flow if you ever did need it down the road to tee other things (carbon/gfo/biopellect reactor/ frag tank/algae scrubber, etc).

 

Yah, I gotta say I agree. Plus it looks like they come with a controller? So you can change the speed of the pump as need be, so if the 5500 wass too much you could always throttle it down. Might not be too late to get on the phone with reef specialty or whoever you ordered through!

 

Jason, aren't you suppose to be driving back from WV right now? lol

 

I was wondering that, they all look the same just in different colors. Happy to know you were able to get the larger size for the same price! I'm going to wait for you to update us with your review/opinon before I go out and get one now!
