looking at water pumps need lots of help please :)

Yes i will be using the same one sump I got a unbeatable deal on a sump that is recommended for a 400gal tank $180 for everything except pump. So instead of buying a pump right now you say wait and buy one just for the 300gal?

 

Here's what I did.. I sent a message to another user Craigar with a 300gal setup with a setup to what you are looking on doing, asking what pump make & model he is using. They way you'll have a template on a pump for a 300gal & see if it can be backed down for a 75gal use.

 

thats awesome thank you.

 

This was Craigar's reponse.. "I'm using 2 rio 2400 gph return pumps pumped into a splitter I also have 3 korillawavemakers"

Hope this helps...

 

Here is Craigar's 300gal Mix Reef Tank Thread..

Thanks again for the help it answers many questions.

 

No problem, that what we're here for..

 

As for the Reeflo pump you can back them down with a valve and they actually use less electricity. I would buy one for the 300g in mind so you don't have some laying around. Little Giant also makes a good external pump.

 

Is little giant a good brand? I should ask what size of pump do you have or recommened?

 

Very interesting thread, but I'm pretty new to the aquarium game and I'm getting ready to put together the plumbing for a new 150g tank. I see people using the letters "DT" can someone school me on that?

Does it stand for "display table"?

Thanks in advance.
