I use the Sedra 20000, specifically because of its superior head pressure. I have a basement sump, and this single pump not only returns water to my 100g upstairs pump but also to another 130g downstairs tank behind an adjacent wall, as well as Ts to my GFO and carbon reactors, chiller and bio pellet reactor. Hence I have only 2 pumps in my sump, my single purpose skimmer pump, and the Sedra that does everything else.

I tried the big mag pumps but they didn't have enough head pressure and needed multiple pumps, and still had less flow overall.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
