Now, here is a question for everyone...
I purchased a Panworld 250PS pump that outputs 1900GPH with the intention of plumbing the return to the tank as well as the feed for the refugium/frag room and the Plumbing Manifold to supply water to my UV Sterilizer, GFO, Carbon, and possibly a Calcium reactor in the future. But now I am second guessing having one single pump run all this because I want at least 1000GPH from the DT, 300 GPH into refugium and frag tank, 200GPH UV Sterilizer, 100GPH Carbon, 200GPH GFO (=1800GPH, so I have 100GPH to spare in a perfect world). So here are the options I am considering:
1. Installing a QuietOne 4000 in the main section of the sump to supply water to everything except the return from the sump to the tank (refugium/frag tanks and manifold). Then have everything return to the main section in the sump.
2. Plumbing the refugium and frag tanks from the main return pump and installing the QuietOne 4000 Pump to supply ONLY the Manifold. This way all the tank supplies are on the same line. My hope is to set up an automatic feeding system in the future and this would allow me to set up the feeder into the return section of the sump and supply food to all the tanks.
3. Just use one pump and supply everything and control it with valves.
