I just purchased the Cade Frag 1500 and it should be on its way soon. It will be a first time sump for me, and I’m looking to have a pump ready to install when it gets here. Two questions:
1) Since the product is manufactured by an Australian company, all plumbing is measured in mm (someone in a review on Algae Barn was annoyed by this). But I can’t find an online manual or info on the plumbing. Are all of the major pump manufactures going to be able to attach to the Cade plumbing out of the box? Or will I need an adapter?
2) Can you recommend a GPH on a pump? The system volume is 98 gallons and the pump will have ~3.5 foot vertical climb with 3 90-degree turns. I plan to use the tank as a softy reef tank initially and will use it as a supporting frag tank for a future system assuming I stay in the hobby. I’ll probably go with Sicce, so maybe someone can recommend something from their lineup or another brand you like.
