hi all. I have a 55 gal fowlr that’s been running great for a year. I really want a sump to help with quality/hide the mess. I REALLY want the sump to be in the basement. That means the return and overflow will have to be roughly 15 feet.

For the life of me I can’t figured out what return pump and overflow systems I need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A pressure rated return pump is the best choice. Look at panworld/blue line, iwaki pressure rated pumps.
