Hey Ron

Hey Ron this is Luke, i dont need you to hold me a new powerhead as of now. I had a foam filter on my sump pump(mag7) and my in tank pump(mag5) i realized that the filter on both of them was full of garbage and cuting down the flow rate dramstically. After i took them off its almost amazing the difference in flow around my tank. Could have been a culprit of the heat problem too as they was probably strugling to pump right. Not sure yet but couldnt have help. Ive got a calulated flow rate of around 1800 gph not deducting tubing heights and 90 degree angles. I would imagine that is plenty. Any input would be great.

While your at it Ron tell Barry not to hold that pump for me either. Turns out I probably won't need it.
