Thanks guys

niloc16:
As Mark mentioned the CL pump will be below the main floor so I don't expect much noise. Fingers crossed.

Mark:
I think Im going to shoot for 1000 GPH from my sump return pump & 3000 GPH from CL. I may go a little larger and just hold them back a little with a valve.

As mentioned below I think ill go with ...
Closed Loop
Sequence 4000SEQ19 / 4000 GPH at 0 head & 3000 GPH at 10 ft of head
Sump Return Pump
Velocity T4 / S4 1446 GPH at 0 head & 1000 GPH at 10 ft of head.

What do you think of these pump brands?

i didnt want to sound like i was discouraging you or attacking your plan. its sounds like its going to be an awesome setup. any pictures lately?

[Josh24]

I'm not discouraged.
Sorry no pictures but when I get some ill post them.
Im actually just trying to figure out exactly what I need and want prior to purchasing anything. That way I can put some stuff on the old Christmas list.

Once Im into the new house ill begin the setup but that may not be until April. We'll see how construction moves along!

Mark,

On that reef.org referal sheet that outlines all the pumps, are those wattage ratings per day or per hour?

A watt is a measure of energy (volt x amps) think of it as an instantaneous value. To relate it to consumption you multiple by time eg.kilowatt-hour.

Thanks for the clarification
