External Pump - Urgent Help Needed

[asonitez]

Currently using a Mag 18 Submersed. I'm going to get my sump drilled today and need a external pump.



Available I have a Little Giant 3 MDQX-SC
Iwaki WMD 30R(T)

I need the pump to be able to run a manifold powering 3 reactos

1 BioPellet Reactor (NextReef SMR1XL)
1 Carbon Reactor (NEextReef MR1)
1 Phosguard Reactor (NextReef MR1)

I have a 27" tall Tank
2 OverFlows... Each return is split into 2 loclines for a total of 4 locline 3/4" Nozzle.


I'm changing sumps because of HEAT generated by the MAG 18 on such a small water volume.

Use whatever pump is closest to the GPH of the mag 18. The iwaki is pressure rated so it will handle more head. Don't know about the other pump. But I know neither one flows as much as the mag 18 @ 0 head.

I got a panworld 55 this weekend.. 1160 gph at 10ft head that should do the job right

again, not as strong as the mag 18 but will do the job. just not alot of flow through the sump which can be a good thing.
