mag 5 pumping a 4' head

Quite One 3000
Head 10 ft
fitting 1"
flow 780 gph

same here as bob, mag 5 with +- 4ft head, however it runs my tidepool wide open, almost a little too much. If you get a wet dry that can handle a higher GPH, i would go with a step or to up from the mag 5

Like Tackett mine does seem to out pump my DIY filter bax in about a week and a half. So I rinse the filter media (oyster shells) once per week.

I have a Little Giant 3-MDQ-SC [does 630 gph at 4' head] on my 58g. It's an external, I like it as it handles additional plumbing well.
On my 40 I run a Mag7 thru a scwd, does ok too.

I'm thinking of a Mag 9.5. I want to put it in the sump and run PVC out of the sump and T it off at the bottom back of the tank. Then run it up to the back two corners for the outlets. Will the Mag 9.5 be too much flow? What do you think?

 

[sslarison]

Bump one last time.

 

[holry7778]

Nope, sounds ok to me. I plumb a ball valve after it so I can adjust the flow any ways.

I inhale once and exhale once. Works every time.

 

[sslarison]

OK cool thanks.
