Hey guys!
I'm working on rebuilding a tank, and am looking to finally decide what the plumbing is going to look like when it's all redone. I'll be redrilling the tank from a 1" durso drain and 1/2" return to a 1" herbie with a 1.25" emergency and a 1/2" return (there's literally no space for anything else in the overflow). The pump that came with the tank is a Mag 9.5, and the screws are rusting like crazy. I could keep the old pump, but it runs a little loud, seems a little overkill flow-wise, and is well... old. I was looking at other pumps and was considering a Sicce 3.5. Do you guys have any return pump suggestions with my current setup? I'm also running an old style SWC 160 skimmer with an Atman ph2500 in it in case the turnover will drastically affect skimmer performance. If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know! I have yet to drill the tank or order a pump, so now is the perfect time for any advice
