pump question
I am looking for a pump for my 220, after looking at who knows how many I narrowed it down to 2 different Sequence models. I am debating if I should go with a snapper or a dart. I figure either pump would be fine for a close loop and later run a oceanmotion super squirt or 4 way. I am not sure thou which is a better choose of the 2 ?
Snapper specs: Closed Loops and Un-Drilled Tanks Calfo Closed Loop design Specifications: Tank Size: 75-150gal Flow Rate @ 4` Head: 1850gph Max Head: 11ft Amps/Watts: 0.9A/98W Motor Speed: 1/8hp Inlet/Outlet: 2in/1.5in Dimensions (L x W x H): 11in x 6.57in x 7in Motor Type: A.O. Smith Out-of-pond construction - NOT Submersible! Minimal heat transfer Less than half the watt draw of comparable submersible pumps! Ports are 2" FNPT suction and 1.5" FNPT discharge. Units are pre-wired with an 8` cord and molded 115V plug. Housing is molded of PVC plastic for added efficiency. Quiet operation Dart specs: Specifications: Tank Size: 100-200gal Flow Rate @ 4` Head: 2820gph Max Head: 12ft Amps/Watts: 1.4A/160W Motor Speed: 1/8hp Inlet/Outlet: 2in/1.5in Dimensions (L x W x H): 11in x 6.57in x 7in Motor Type: Hubbel® Out-of-pond construction - NOT Submersible! Minimal heat transfer Less than half the watt draw of comparable submersible pumps! Ports are 2" FNPT suction and 1.5" FNPT discharge. Units are pre-wired with an 8` cord and molded 115V plug. Housing is molded of PVC plastic for added efficiency. Quiet operation Should I go with more gph than I need for the future if I up grade or go with the snapper. Either pump would have a 4' max head and would be a second pump added to my system. Any advice/ help would be greatly. Thank you and I appreciate anyone that took the time to read or reply. Also this set-up is for (live rock and fish only). Sokin |

FWIW, I'm setting up a 210g FOWLR with an OM 4-way. I opted for the Dart. Keep in mind that the OM is going to cut your flow, too.
