WTB- 250GPH Pump

[Don Lino]

Well im kinda finished with my plumbing but now I need a small pump for my UV sterilizer, cant forget about that. So Im looking for a small pump...maybe a 300gph or smaller would work. LMK, what you guys have. Thanks all.

[pmike25]

Joe do you have any power heads laying around, for that small of flow you can mod a power head to run that little GPH,, Just an idea for ya to kick around!!! :D

<~~~Professional Power Head Mod Man!!!!

Ohh if ya dont PM Paul Im sure hes got something, he has a massive amount of stuff at his house!! Ive seen it....

[daywn]

i got a couple rio's if your interested.same deal as the overflows where.

[pmike25]

Thats funny Paul , look at what I just edited in my last responce!!

[daywn]

the funny thing is,that i just sold a mag 3 five minutes before i saw his post.

[pmike25]

LOL you prob have everything at that house to set up like 30 tanks!!!! I remember I couldnt believe how much stuff you have there, How many tanks you got running now a days?? :D

[daywn]

just got the 180.putting together a acrylic tank,94" X 33" X 22",260 gallons.once i get the other tank done,i'll sell the 180 with most of the equipment with it.

[daywn]

Joey,could you "T" off your return pump to feed the UV and have it drain back into your sump?

[pmike25]

Cool man, Im sure that 260 is gonna look good!!! Now im selling those MHs for only 350!!! Thats the "rockbottom" price though!!!

Good luck setting up that big tank, im sure ya have everything you need for it already!!!

[Don Lino]

Sorry guys Im pretty late at work, I just saw the posts. Nah Mike I dont have any power heads here. Paul I think my pump is too powerful to T off. What king of pumps you have??
Mike your right Paul does have a bunch of stuff. Instead of making threads waste time I'll just start asking Paul.

[pmike25]

Thats cool man, Paul is the dood ya need to ask for used stuff!!!

[Don Lino]

Mike I do have some "I need Help" questions for you though...

[pmike25]

Shoot away :D

[Don Lino]

Um, I'll PM you with them if you kno what I mean....

[pmike25]

yup yup :D

[Don Lino]

Paul??

[daywn]

i got three 1700 and three 1400

[Don Lino]

Im so sorry Paul, I really dont know reefer talk yet...LOL:D, which pump will be good for 250gph?? Also, I need the outlet to fit my 1/2 inch hose. Thanks so much Paul.

[Don Lino]

Paul where is Okeechobee located??

[daywn]

about 2 1/2 hours east of you.
the 1700 is 642 @ 0'
1400 is 400 @ 0'
i thought i had a 1100(360 @ 0'),but i can't find it.

[pmike25]

Joey ya should just get both the 1700 and 1400 if ya can afford it, ya can always use the other for flow or in ya other tank, or in ya water changing station if ya have one!!!

[Don Lino]

Oh, I guess I can have the 1400 in my sump and push up through my UV and into my main tank just to kill of some gph. It'll be going up about 4 feet, what you think Paul??

[daywn]

1400 243 @ 4' and the 1700 352@ 4'

[Don Lino]

Mike, thats true but Im already having high temp problems any more P.H's would fry my fish and coral.

[Don Lino]

cool can I have both 1400's, Paul?? LMK Thanks so much. Man I wish you lived closer I would love to go shopping in yor Garage.

[pmike25]

Na dood im not saying to put all of em in, but ya will need one in the future,,those little pumps really make it easy to transfer water to one place to another!!!
Get some low CFM fans for that heating prob if ya dont have any already, they do wounders!!

[daywn]

[Don Lino]

Mike, I bought a clip on 7inch fan from wal mart. But man it dries my sump out quick...

[daywn]

nobody said reef keeping was easy and relaxing.

[pmike25]

Yeah I think this whole experiance made me crazy more than anything!!! Paul is right :D

But when its all said and done its nice to enjoy all the hardache that ya went through, welp that is if ya can keep ya parameters correct!!! Ive been blessed by the reefer gods so far on the water quality end of it!!

[Don Lino]
