Hi guys,
I am planning a bit of an overhaul of my tank set up and need some advice.
The plan is to set up two tanks on the main floor (above the basement) of my house, and move the sump to the basement.
The tanks will be an 80 gallon (already running) and a new 180 gallon (to be set up).
I would want to run both tanks off of the same return pump. How would I go about calculating how big of a return pump I need? I believe I will need to know the vertical height coupled with the gph flow needed for the tanks, but I am unclear how to determine the size of the pump based on that.
Additionally, what size pvc is recommended for such a set up?
