The tank came with a 2000gph pump, i am not sure if that would be way to strong considering im using two 1" overflow pipes, and it only has 4' head.

It also came with a four stage modular filter, mechanical, chemical, heater & UV light, should i use this? can that be setup to the 2000gph pump?

so it would be, Sump>4pt filter>check valve>tank?

theres so many parts that came with this and im very new

Thanks guys!

Josh

Definitely not too much flow. I am using a 3200gph return and would consider going bigger once this one craps out. I just used locline and a splitter to make my 2 return lines put out from 4 points.

Not too much flow for the filtration system?

I thought i red that 1" pipe would be about 600 gph, so 2 of them is 1200 if im using a 2000gph pump back to the tank would that not overflow my tank? or am i miss informed.

thanks
