I bought a used tank setup for my little store. Heres the scoop. It is 3 - 21G (36x12x12) tanks set up vertically on a steel rack, with a 22g sump at the bottom. So each tank is directly above the last, with the rim of the top tank at 6 feet. Each drain is 1", but opens into a common 1.5" drain to the sump. There is a single 3/4" return line, that reduces down to 1/2" loc-line that just hangs over the rim of each tank.
What the hell do I need for a return pump? How much GPH? And I'm assuming the top tank would have less return pressure than the bottom due to head pressure, but I can adjust that with the ball valves
So anyways, another question. The sump is an acrylic E.T.S.S. protean 400? Its nice looking, and has a built in skimmer. Anyone know anything about this? The pump for the skimmer is not included, but it recommends a mag 7. I'm going to use my quietone 2200 as I'm assuming its not enough for return.
