I think I might order one & test it out on my current tank to get at least a first hand testing & if it doesn't work well for my big tank it should be just fine for my seahorse tank.

The crappy thing about the sqwds is that they are not servicable. Mine only lasted a year before it siezed on me. Mine was the 3/4" version, so maybe the 1" will be better. I have to say, that while it was working, it created some awesome random alternating flow in my tank.

I'm surprised that Sphelps hasn't chimed in here yet. He's good at this planning stuff! He's helping me create the multi-sump-multi-pump setup for my 7 footer.
