Hi all -
I have been spending the last few weeks planning out a reef tank (Red Sea 250 G2+ Max) for our first floor living room. As I do not have permission to keep 2 big brute tubs on the first floor, My only option is to keep them in the basement.
I would like to do water changes using a pump from the basement brute to the tank on the first floor. I know that the water removal will not be an issue (I am planning to use the Python (100ft length) to siphon and clean the gravel, my concern is how to get the fresh salt water back up to the tank using the same python tubing.
I did read the following post (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/water-solutions-downstairs.1001615/) but it did not provide details on what pump would work best with a home that has 9ft ceilings and where I need to use a 100ft tube.
So my question is whether the Higger 2650 would work for this? Would that provide an appropriate flow rate for a 10 gal water addition?
Thanks - and please be kind - this is my first post!
