Head pressue Amp master 3000

[Rwinfrey]

Hello all I am getting the AMP master 3000 with the 1 inch in and out. I am currently running the ss 800 on my 75 gallon. I want to know if think this will work. I plan on coming out of the pump with 1 inch flex to a ball valve then to a three way splitter so now I have 3-1 inch lines 1 will go right up to a 3/4 bulk head fitting that is my normal return and I am going to make that a spray bar. Now for the other 1 inch lines I am going to make 1 inch returns out of PVC. OK now for my question my stand is 32 inches and the tank is 22 inches do you think I will get about 1000 gallons circulating.


thanks

Bob,
I would say yes to you question but don't you think you would be better off getting the 1.5" inlets and outlets and just reducing from there.

that's what they are sending me as a replacement for my silent sea 800

Wow, their sending you an Amp Master 3000 to replace the POS SS 800...........can't complain about that

Yeah I had to send a 110.00 bucks though.With the ss800 my tank runs at 80f and it's not from my vho's they have a 4inch fan blowing over them.But my wife is getting me MH 250" for my b-day and with that pump (the ss800)

Bob,
Can't beat that with a stick

.......It sure would be nice if you could get them to upgrade it to the 1.5" model

I heard the Ampmaster didn't work as well with 1" input or output. I'm going to buy an external pump for a closed loop and was considering this pump but I need 1" input and don't want to spend $500 if I'm halfing the output by reducing the plumbing, any opinions?

 

[Rwinfrey]

I don't know why they wouldn't but then I would have about 2500 gallons going to my 75gl and mysump has a 1 inch hole I guess I could bore it out

OK OK I just emailed them 1.5 it is if they let meI will also call them
