I personally would use an external pump. They will probably pump close to their rated volume. Your 1.5" bulkhead will drain a LOT more water than any of these pumps will be capable of pumping. Is that your intent?
(i know, you'll use a stockman pipe to keep the water level up and prevent the falling water sound) |
yup, you know it
love stockman pipes. and yeah i do want lots of extra play on the bulkheads, planning on adding a DT frag tank next to this tank later on.

the pan world i did hook up in the bath tub a long time ago. i do remember it being pretty quiet, the iwaki have not tried but i think its close to the pan world.

many do it like that. it works fine but i want the redundancy of sumps on seperate loops.
ok guys thanks, i will be going with the external pumps. i was leaning that way anyway just needed a little push over the edge.
