Ok, I was on the fence of if I was going to move the system. I thought about selling it all off and starting over. The wife (who has little to do with my hobby) said she really wants to keep it, so I guess we will be moving it. So, I think I need to do a little mechanical planning to prepare the new system The first thing I need to know is which is better, a 180 gallon tank or a rubbermaid tub of comparable size a
sump. I have a chance to purchase the 180 for $50.00.
Next, I need some help determining pump size etc. I know RC has a head loss calc, but I have a chance at a large pump (Sequence 4200
GPH), for $200.00 that is 16 months old. Stupid question but, I can back the flow down with a valve....right? Also can I use the RC overflow calc in reverse to estimate my flow to the
sump? So I hav lets say 10" of linear overflow and a 1" pipe, so that comes to about 600
GPH right? So as long as I back the return to below 600GPH (adding in head loss, etc.)I am ok, right?
