Sorry to Hi Jack Acronom but I thought it would be appropriate to post here.
Marc,
I have been contacting the past few days about building a sump for me. I know you get alot of emails, so I thought I would contact you here. I also sent you a few PM's. If you can PM me, or email me (in my profile) that would be great. I would love to talk about you building a sump for me. you may be out of town, I sent my first email wednesday of last week. Hopefully you will see this!
Thanks.
Once again, sorry to hi jack your thread but I noticed he posts alot on your thread so I thought I could possibly catch his attention here.
BTW, really nice tank. That new sump looks sharp! I have been subscribed to your thread from like page 3 and it has been a cool and very educational thread. I have learned alot of cool stuff off your thread.
Thanks guys.

I think Iwaki-30 RT-2
And don't go by the head loss calculation is not accurate.
It said The Mag 7 i had feeding water in to the 902 skimmer was more than the 1260 Eheim well the head loss calculation is wrong big time.
The Eheim 1260, pumps almost two time more water than the Mag 7. But for some other pumps was very close.

What do I add for DUBV's? 2 Ball Valves and 2 Unions?
Ok
I will be using
2 DUBV's--I put in 2 ballvalves and 2 Unions
3 90 degree
1-45 degree
Vertical 2'
Horizantal 18'
1 1/2" PVC
Total losses are 2.25 feet of head pressure, or 0.97 PSI. with a flow rate of 543 GPH.
HOW?????
Model: MD30RLT*
Inlet(MPT)/Outlet(MPT): 3/4"/3/4"
Flow Rate @ 4` Head: 510 GPH
Max Head ft: 17.7
HOW can I end up with more then pump says?

I purchased a pair of Mag9s and a pair of Mag 7s for my 75 g system. Neither pair perform even close to each other. I am sending one Mag 7 back to the mfg, the one Mag 9 I found to have a torn up gasket, that could have been me, dout it but it could have been, so I'll replace that and see how it performs.
Point is, you need to test these Mags right out of the box for performance, 50% odds of getting the flow you need is not OK in my book.
Anyway,all the Mags are going to various utility services and being replaced by "more reliable" pumps. Sorry no experience with the Iwaki.

Assuming that the head loss calculator was correct in calculating the head loss for this application, you are looking at very little flow loss due to head, mostly because thie is a pressure rated pump. According to this chart you will be getting 9.5 GPM or 570 GPH.
http://www.iwakiamerica.com/iwaki/Literature/MD_WMD/30Rcrv.pdf
This is the pump's rating at 4' head. In your application, you will only have 2.25' head. The pump is actually a 600 GPH pump at 0' head.

Lookin good.
That size is about perfect for my screen, which is a typical 19". But might be a tad large for people with 15" or 17" monitors. I think 640 for the longest side of the picture is usually a good size to go with that will accomodate all crowds. The only time I go larger is on full tank shots where I want to catch more detail.
