Should i put a SCWD on my tank..if so what pump would i need..

[coralcrazy]

okay..i am not sure...but i am thinking about putting in a scwd..instead of putting two pumps...what sort of pump would i need, to put this bad boy in a 6 gallon tank?...

I'd use a pump, 1 "step up" from whatever return pump you'd use without the SCWD.

For example, use a Mag 5 w/SCWD instead of a Mag 3 without. That will help compensate for the additional headpressure the SCWD will generate.

your thread got me thinking Deanos...Are you really happy with it? did you use clamps to keep the hoses comming apart?

 

[Deanos]

Yes I am. It's been foolproof so far. I'm using these clamps:

No problems with rust, since they're away from any saltspray. You could also use these:

but I can never find the size I need when I'm looking.
