50 breedeer return pump question?

[riche]

Will a mag 5 be enough for a 50 breeder? I'm not looking for a exact flow answer just ball park?

I'm under the impression that you want a lower flow going thru the sump, to allow the skimmer and fuge to do there job?

The stand is 30" tall

You can see by this chart that with 30" of head pressure that gonna put you at about 400gph.

That's under ideal conditions and no considering any elbows etc...

Depending what your going to keep in the tank I'd recommend a MD7.

This is all ballpark of course.
