I have a 20 gallon aquarium with 3 to 4 feet which pump should I use
I have a 64g and a rise pump blau 6kdc; a sump 17g; height 1.45m … What do you think?
i have a red sea 350 how can i put a locline on the return line what size is the return line in the tank?
What pump is best for a 260 gal bait tank? ty.
I have a small 29g bio cube. What brand Would you suggest? I Imagine that it wouldn’t be too big. Thanks.
I’m a little unclear on how pipe diameter affects flow. Will a larger diameter (1″) return line flow more of less than a smaller (3/4″) line?
I have a 200 gallon bow front and a 40 gallon sump what size return pump should I get? I’m very confused on this part of the tank. Thank you.
Is it okay with 15 in turnower on a freshwater
Would a Sicce 0.5 fit in the new Fluval Evo 12 AIO tanks? Thank you!
great video as always man
hi, could you recommend a replacement pump for a innovative marine reactor (midsize) please?
This has been the most useful video on how to calculate head pressure that I’ve seen so far. Thank you guys!
Any advice is appreciated…. I have about 12 gallons of water inside my 14 gallon all in one clown fish tank (sand, rock, equipment take up rest). I want to make sure I have the correct gph return pump. 12 gallons x 10 would be a max of 120 gph pump… but I also have about 10 inches of head pressure and 1 elbow. I have a circulation pump within display area. I have a nano pump that is 110 gph and is only 2.8 watts. I got this because it is very quiet and doesn’t heat up the tank too much. Everything seems to be good had it for a year at least but should I get a bit more powerful one such as the CompactON 600 (159 GPH) – Eheim, Trying to keep heat and noise to it lowest. Thanks.
when you say 5x to 10x tank turn over do you mean display only or dislapy plus suimp? I have a 12g fluval edge i am fitting with a 10g custom sump. Do i calculate on 12g (display only) or 22g (display and sump)??
What are the issues with using a smaller than recommend pump? Will I be okay as long as I supplement my display with extra powerheads?
I have a 90g with a mag 7 and about 7′ head loss.
Very well explain!
Great video. glad you mentioned head pressure. . also pump maintainance should be a topic for future discussion
