Xmas In Wall Tank Thread

hammerhead that could be a little to big, if you are going to tee it off to run other equipment.I have a 265g with two 2inch hole in the back of my tank the pump i use is barracuda and that match my water flow going down in the sump. I rather have more water movement in the tank then the system.If you going to run a big pump then your sump should be real big

My sump will be 5' x 30" x 20"

Return on Hammerhead after head pressure 3800 gph

An overflow length of 36" @ 1" tall will not handle 3,800 GPH.

2,000 GPH would be the most I would put thru this size overflow, you need a little safety margin in there.

dave just lmk when your ready. also i dont think you can run that much flow through the wavy sea's. and thats alot of return flow, making the flow though your sump awful fast for it to really to be getting the benifit's. also once it's switched you going to use the black tub for a dsb ?

 

[Davidl919]

Ok that's a Lot of work. I'll sleep over Saturday night to Sunday to help, Are you going to need any 1 inch I still have about 5ft rigid and 5ft flex also Dont buy the clear primer I've got more than enough of that... Get the Basement bed ready. Ah man all that glue. :cheers:

Rick each wavy sea Plus can handle 3600gph and the regular one can handle 2300 and i'm using a reefflo dart which is about 3600gph on two wavysea's that handle 2300 so i should be fine, as for the flow in sump. my new sump was design to be a high flo sump. i will find a way to plumb the skimmer so it will have a slower water turn over rate so it can skim properly.

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=10 width=760 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR bgColor=#ffffff><TD bgColor=#cccccc>What is the maximum GPH for WavySea?</TD></TR><TR bgColor=#ffffff><TD>WavySea is a work of engineering genius. Our tests from over 200 locations have revealed that WavySea can handle maximum of 2,300 GPH (Gallons Per Hour)! But of course, no device should be driven to its max. It should be able to handle just about anything you throw at it! For those that require more flow, WavySea Plus+ can handle up to 3,600 GPH!!!
More about the maximum limit: 2,300 maximum GPH will vary depending on many factors. This includes water condition and even the climate of your residence (due to air pressure).

i thought they handled alot less than that, like the seaswirls. if this tank turns out anything like the one have now it will be awesome

 

[frank arriaga]

Dave,if I can help with anything lets me know. I just put back the two 6100 tunze for more flow the 3 dart just wasn't enough. good luck
