Help!! I need a pump

[deano488]

Hey guys... I need a pump big enough to run a 125 gal tank. Even two smaller ones would be fine. Let me know if you have anything available thats not too expensive. (story of a reefers life)

How many GPH would I need in a 125 for good filtration and to keep a few softies happy like 1000??

who makes your tank?
Do you have Dual overflows
what type of sump are you using etc..

this helps on finding out what type of pump you need

also what is the height to the top of your tank.. ( calculate head loss)
