[fishyboi]

Is a via aqua pumps good or not? i was planning on ordering one for 110 bucks that does 1350 gph.

I would go with a mag drive built better

I know Rallysman is partial to the Little giant pumps.

I have a Pentair Aquatics Quietone pump.

I like Little Giant myself...I have several and none have ever failed.

Then I might go for the mag drive 18 that has a 1800 gph for 110 bucks. I was thinking of putting it on my 240 gal and at 6ft it will pull out 1125gph. Is it ok to circulate the tank 5 times a hour? is that to little or to much?

 

[fishyboi]

anyone?

 

[fishyboi]

no one can answer my quesstion? need help on circulation

A good rule of thumb is to "Turn the tank over" 3 to 5 times an hour. You would be good with @1100 or so gph. Ive got a 180 and am running @1150 an hour.
