Pump for the sump

[lngliv3]

Hey looking for some help in picking the pump for my sump.I have a 50 gallon display tank a 700 gph glass holes overflow the sump is a 29 gallon 3 chamber sump. From my measurements looks like 4 feet from the sump to the top of my dt.I have used the flow calculator but still not sure which pump to get ... What pumps are you using. Have you thought should have got the bigger one... Thanks Tim

I am using a quiet one 3000 on my 180g and 30g (yes it feeds both tanks)..... it does a decent job but I wish I would have went with the 4000 rethinking it now because I am probably around 300-400 gph in the 180

Gee wizz people not too many people run sumps or fuges . I just need to get my return pump. Looking at a Rio hyper flow 17 or a mag 9.5.. how about some input please...thanks Tim

I would go with a mag over a rio personally. But I like my quiet one better still because it uses less energy, mags suck more juice

FWIW, I have been using my Q1 for over a year now w/o issues and I stop start it almost every day for feedings.

Definitely go with the mag 9.5!

I would probably go with a Ocean Runner or Eheim
