chompers gave me a few ideas so ill see if i can get them rolling


185 gallon tank
30 gallon sump
quite 1 3000 (70gph) pump
1.5 bottomed drilled durso stand pipe

looks like this

k tank is 180 gal
quite 1 3000



bout 5 feet head
about 500gph
about 3x turnover

so with big cichlids i should be about 7x turnover
about 1260 gph

so i need a bigger pump any ideas?

and i need to over flow more water into the sump

so i might just scrap the drilled durso cause its only over flowing 700 gph out and i dont think i can improve its performance

so i guess i build some diy overflows
