Im just curious to see what flow rates some are using for their specific sump sizes.
 
Sump= 150 gallons

Pump= 4.7K GPH

When rebuilt there will be 2 of these pumps rather than just 1.
 
Sump= 200 gallons

Pump= Mag Drive 2400 (probably getting about 1500 gph out of it after head loss)
 
Fantastic folks, keep them coming :)
 
100G sump

4.5K per hour
 
For my 75 gallon aquarium - 22 gallon sump (sterlite 90 quart container), quiet one 6000 pump. Rated at a little over 1500 GPH, but with head height and 90's, I think I'm running around 900 GPH. I'm using stackable drawers for a trickle filter and have around 8 gallons of bio media (mainly scrubbies).
 
Haven't built my yet (this weekend) but 55gal sump /w Mag Drive 12 (aiming for 850gph) got a bigger pump for head and expansion in future
