Hi all.
3 questions on a remote sump set up.
I’m installing at 1000L (250gal) tank with a fish room/sump about 2m (6 ft) below and 8m (24ft) horizontally from the DT.
The 8m (24ft) of horizontal pipe would only have a vertical drop of 10cm (4”), before getting to sump room and dropping the remaining distance.
3 questions
1) Will this long length of barely sloping pipe cause any long term problems? It will be hidden in a ceiling gap and not be accessible
2) I was going to go with a Bean Animal, as it seemed the best of all options. One of it's main advantage over a Herbie is the reduced noise. Given the sump will be in a remote location from the DT, do I need to go Bean Animal for noise reduction? Is the main noise difference at the sump, or at the DT?
3) Would a Bean Animal even work with a remote sump so far from DT?
I am going for 5 x DT flow rate, so 5000l/hr or ~ 1250 gals/hr
Thanks !
