head pressure?you mean head loss? (800 at 0' head 500 at 5'?)will this pump work?http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=47137
the return will be at 3 foot from the "head" i will, all these are wild caught by me except the clown knife,i wanna catch some jaguars or some managuense.

Ohh,i dont really worry about backups, i could just throw these in my established pond if the pump goes (pond is filtrated naturally) the tank is drilled and has 2 1" bulkheads with valves. sump is going to be a 55 gal and a 15 gal refugium.But lets say the sump was a 29,would it be ok?I have an extra 29 gal and i feel like my that into a sump instead of my brand new 55,where the JD's are nowMr Pleco;1695486; said:I think he was referring to keeping a back up??????
How big is your sump?
tanked drilled or going to use an overflow?

Yep, it will probably move about 900-1000gph @ 3ft.
It may warm the water a little too.
