mag 5 pump

[amv123]

is a mag 5 enough for my 29g sump? its on a 100g and the sump is being added to an eheim 2217, 2213 with coralife uv, and an ac 70. or should i get a rio 2500?

if this is going in a 100 gallon i say, go with a mag 9.5 or a mag 12.

with a 5-6 foot head height it will do about 600 gallons an hour, giving you a 6x turnover rate

why so much filtration? get a big beefy one...

You have enough flow with the other filters to get the job done... so a smaller pump like the 5 should be ok.

Turnover guidelines for tanks are inclusive of all sources of flow
