return pump help for sizing

[Brando457]

Hey everyone hoping to get some help/recommendations on a pump.

Currently I use an eheim 1262 for my return to my display, I have it throttled back slightly otherwise the overflow gets very loud.

I also use 2 x maxijet 1200s to power my gfo + carbon reactors.

I plan on adding a 40 breeder fuge and having it connected to my main sump. The plan would be for the fuge to share the sump with my 180 display.

What I would like to do in order to consolidate pumps is use 1 pump to feed a manifold, which will feed my gfo & carbon reactors, my fuge, and my display.

Would I be better suit to get the jebao 9000 or 12000 for my application?

From my sump to display is approximately 8 feet horizontal & 6 feet vertical height and from sump to fuge is approx 4 ft vertical height & 4 feet horizontal.

Thanks!

If not the jebao I am open to other suggestions for internal pumps!

add up the flow your reactors, fuge and dt require then compensate for head and fitting loss. add a little extra, that will give you the size pump.

Reactors: 500/600 gph
Fuge: 400 gph
DT: 800 gph


So before headloss I need about 2000 gph

And I'll take your eheim as a bu

I currently have 2 eheim 1262s I use one for backup one and one for main. The backup also acts as my mixing/water change pump

I think my friend still has an extra 1 if you want it

I'm in no rush, hope i didn't jinx myself

Right now it is a toss up between a Jebao 9000 or Laguna Max-Flo 2000
