Help need advice ?!!

I'm building a 125g build has a 55g sump , he wants tank visible from both sides. So I was gonna put PVC overflows on both sides and run the returns up the sides and over the top(approx 6ft)and split the return into 4 I'm thinking 4 eductors I can't decide between a mag 18 or a mag 24 , that's what I need your help for ! Give me your best advice?

I'd look at a Glass-Holes overflow....1500 gph...and use a MAG 12 as a return...unless you had a manifold running more stuff.

You really think a mag 12 is good enough to push up 6-7 ft

Hey madness what ever you tried to send just now showed up crazy and unreadable

RM's post basically said that the Mag 12 would push 715 GPH at 7 ft.

Ok cool. a 125 w/a 55g sump should push a little over 1000gph right ??

have you looked at the Waveline DC 10000. I just bought one it is the nicest pump I have ever owned. It is virtually silent and pumps more water than you will ever need.I think max flow is 2800 gph. It is controllable. I will never go back to the mag pumps.

Thank you !
