SC Aquarium Atman 3,500 Pump?

[SteveMM62Reef]

Does anyone know how many GPH the Atman PH 3,500 is rated at ? Is there a chart for the flow at different head feet? Also if someone knows how many GPH the Starfire PNP 120 gallon overflow, is rated at I‘d appreciate it.

3500 Liters per hour at zero feet of head, this pump will have a very weak head pressure.

Huge point of sale to be honest.

It's the first thing I replaced when I got my PNP system from SC. It's loud, vibrates like heck, and mine broke within 3 weeks of use.

I’m trying to figure out what Danner Supreme pumps to use with this Aquarium. I’m leaning towards two pumps, rather than one return pump.

This. Buy a Jebao if your trying to keep price down on a pump that will hold up (more or less).

To be quite honest, use any pump you want, go bigger IMO.

You can always throttle the flow down with either a DC pump, or a ball valve on the return line.

On my 80G cube from SC I use a Vectra S2 and throttle it back.

To specifically answer your question, 3500 LPH converts to 925 gallons. So a MAG 9.5 would be the direct replacement.

That said, I'd have to agree that I'd go with a Jebao as well, in part because it's DC and adjustable, and uses less amps. I say that having use a MAG 9,5 for over ten years as my return pump.
