I'd like to fiqure out my head loss, but the caculator on this site http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/hlc2.php does not have my pump. it is a reeflo 1100. Here is my layout
vertical feet: 10
horizontal feet: 7
pipe diameter: 1.5
pump: reeflo 1100
# of 90 degree elbows: 5
# of gate valves: 1
one pipe entrance and exit

Can I just use a comparable pump?
 
The Blowhole series is new..not all the calc sites are updated.because you used 1.5" pipe you have minimal "friction loss", this your head pressure is 10' + maybe 1'...here's the beauty of the three speed Blowhole-you hook it up and adjust the flow to match your needs..you can switch the speeds as much as like..at 10' high=895gph, med=605gph and low=395 gph..watt draw changes with the speed
