I am putting my sump in the Basement and dont want three different pumps running the circulation line, protien Skimmer, and the uv sterilizer, and any thing else I might want to install. My question is if anyone has any experience using one pump pushing 60-80 gpm at 20 ft head and splitting off to the different equipment? And does anyone think this might have any potential problems? Thanks in advance for any information.

Should not be a problem. In industrial applications one pump usually provides water or whatever for multiple pieces of equipment. Make sure you have valves to regulate the flow for each item.

I took a look at Sequence's web site and they've changed the model numbers and designations since I bought my pump a few years ago. Here's the web page that includes the specs to the 1 HP pump:

Don't make the mistake of getting a low RPM pump (Reef Flo Series). The output from these pumps drops like a rock as soon as they incur any real head pressure.

The Sequence Power series pumps are the best constructed pumps on the market. I replaced a Dolphin 1 HP pump with the Sequence and there is no comparison. Not only in the build quality but in the pumping power. The flow curves of the Sequence are real and each pump is individually tested and includes a custom flow curve. The flow curves published by many other manufacturers are often greatly exaggerated. I made that mistake. I wish I had purchased my Sequence in the beginning. In the long run it would have saved me a lot of money and aggravation.
