90g AGA owners.....

Read a post here stating the flow rates of an AGA overflow is 500 gph.

I'm not sure if I believe that. I would think that it could handle more than that.

Can everyone post and let me know what pumps and their gph ratings so I make sure to get an apprpriate sized pump.

I'm currently running a MAG12 (with about 10ft of head, per the calculator here) but need to upgrade to add in a Sea Swirl to get the circulation I desire.


Thanks for your input.

i was running a LG 3-MDQXSC on mine. @ 4ft, it's about 900-950GPH. the over flow took it all, like a champ. just recently switched to a CSL T3 and it's 750GPH @ 4ft, overflow handles it great.

not sure if you're still using the black flex nozzel for your return, but if you are, check out my DIY Spray Bar thread.
