So lets say I upgrade the return pump for the sump/fuge to a Mag 12, that gives me 1200 GPH at the head and about what? 1100 GPH at 4 feet. It has 3/4" inlet and outlet so it's the same as the 9.5. So run the Mag 12 as a return due the the excesive plumbing needed to make it reach the tank. Also due to having 10 outlets on the manifold for the closed loop I could use a Gen-X PCX-100 Mak 5 like laszlo said and that would be like 1550 GPH and has 1" Male Threaded Outlet. Only beef I have is the Mak 5 is 360 Watts! That's a lot of electricity. Anyone have a suggestion for a comprable pump that runs on less watts. I know benter said the MDQX4 from little giant which is 1225 GPH and only 145 watts (215 watt difference!). Or possibly the Mag 2400? I know it's 265 watts put has better head pressure at 4 feet than the Little Giant (675 GPH Difference).
