Still slowly planning out my budget 40 breeder with a 20 long sump. By my very crude planning, I think I’ll have 5 feet of head pressure on one pump (4 vertical feet plus a 90 degree turn). The other pump will probably have slightly more with a 45 degree turn, the same vertical 4 feet, and the same 90 degree turn but some extra pipe to go from the end of the sump to the center of the display.
I’m thinking of Sicce Syncra Silents. Based on the head pressure diagram, it seems that the 2.0 can handle up to 6.9 feet of head pressure and at about 5 feet of head pressure, we’re looking at 200ish gph which would be about 5 times turnover for each pump.
Thoughts on two 2.0 Sicce Silents on a 40 gallon breeder display without any ball or gate valves on the return lines
