Have it in a sump on a 150g tall, single 12-13 inch Oscar tank, tankmates are 7 SDs, a Leporinus, 2 small female convicts and an eclipse cat. Tank also has a Rena XP4 canister and an Aquaclear 110 HOB for filtration. I use 2 powerheads to further agitate the surface.

It has a small hang on the side(back) overflow with one (looks to be one inch) lift tube.

Hope thats enough detail, but my question, can I buy a new pump and increase the flow rate over the 3100? and If so how much?

I know the return can't over match the intake... so can I go bigger or just buy one of the same? Bought this set up used so not sure how they decided on the 3100 to begin with...

Thanks in Advance for any replies....
