55 gallon tank

This link will help you calculate the flow needed with head pressure(how high up your tank top is) for quiet ones.
Lifegard Aquatics Quiet One Pro Series Aquarium Pump

I always over size a little and use a ball valve /T after the pump if needed...

Filled the tank to leak test tonight, all goes well the pump for the sump will be here tomorrow

Thanks again for all the help all further updates will continue on my tank thread if anyone is interested it will be in my recent posts



Didn't think I would be able to stare at an empty tank with fake plants before so I can't wait to get the fish in it

I honestly can't thank everyone enough for all the input and advice

Hey hukit! My boss was telling my to do bosmani rainbows with jack dempseys, I thought it was a terrible idea but he swore it would be perfect

is he right or is it a terrible idea?

Tank looks great!
Sounds like a bad idea unless the rainbows are dithers???
I am not a JD keeper so good call looking for HUKIT!
I was looking for him too!

Rainbows may work but would be expensive snacks when they sleep.

i believe they get kinda large so i thought they may be able to not be eaten but I dont know as much as you and Hukit do, the new LFS here is selling them for $3.50 a piece or $21 for six so i thought it might be worth trying if it could work

They do get large in time and are fast. It will depend on your individual JD's. I usually use Buenos aries tetras just because they are $1 a piece when on sale at petsmart. They usually work well until they don't. When any of my larger centrals decided to snap I would wake up to almost all of them gone or dead.

Ah alright, I wanted to do buenos Aries but none of my local lfs have them

Wait and see if HUKIT pops in he would know better than me with the rainbows.
