7200's in a 29g?

[SaltyNewb]

I am thinking about putting a couple 7200's in my 29g tank with the controller, is this too much or should I just stick with the basic SQWD?

I don't know if going with a multicontroller and 2 pumps is worth it on such a small tank, as I am on a limited budget, what do you guys think?

Also, if I were to put these in my tank, how do you get the water from the sump to the tank (is there just a return that goes in the tank somewhere?), with a mag pump or similar? Sorry for my ignorance, new to the whole controllable thingy

 

[SaltyNewb]

or if anyone has any other suggestions for pumps, etc... please let me know

thanks!

I run a SEIO 620 on my 26L and it works well. I also have the flow form my XP3 (300+gph) and my remora on a MJ1200. I may add another mj1200 on a closed loop just going through the back of the rocks.. I like the flow from the SEIO....

so the seio works well...I have a remora with the MJ 1200, but it is in my sump. So the only flow i'll have is what is in the tank as far as powerheads, etc...

You are goign to drill for a closed loop?

One 7200/2 would be just fine, the tank will swirl like a toilet being flushed. The pumps are kind of large as are the Seios so 2 would take up a fair amount of room in a small tank. Just get a 7200/2 and a single controller.

 

[SaltyNewb]

lol is that good that it will swirl?

Well, the 2 of them would likely make it look like an Osterizer set on Frape so it is a positive step anyway :lol: Just kidding, it will be a fairly high amount of flow but it can be turned down on the controller to suit you and if the focus is SPS it should be perfect, you will peg a 20* turn over rate.
