Default Re: 1 pump for everything

Thanks for the input Fletch.

The more I have been doodling on paper with the plumbing design and in my head...I too think the 2 pumps would be a better route to take. My only dilemma is this.....

I have a 25w UV that I run one of the 9.5's through currently...so that reduces flow a bit. I also plan to add the SCWD I bought 2 months ago to this setup. Will the 18 be enough to run through the UV and scwd and keep up with the drain? Agin, I beleive the overflow is somewhere around 11-1200. That could be high or low. Not sure. I think with head pressure and device pressure, I may fall a bit short on the return???
