Hey guys,
So I am diving into the sump world to learn for my future upgrades into saltwater.
I have a 55 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump, that I got from a guy on craigslist.
I was curious if anyone had any suggestions of good, but CHEAP, return pumps I could use. I am completely new to this so specific product names will really help.
The sump will be sitting approximately 3 ft below top of tank. I am not looking to get a crazy GPH because I do not want to pay for that much.
I am very curious in hearing what all you guys have to say and would love to know what you suggest and why.
The guy who had it originally said he used a 950 GPH pump, however, I do not think I need to spend that much money unless I absolutely have to.
NOTE: this is for a FW tank but will eventually be upgraded to saltwater. I will also have to HOB filters running on this tank as well so GPH is not a problem.
Thanks in advance.
