Looking for a pump

[twilmot]

I am looking for a large pump that can pump with at least 14 ft of head pressure and still have some good flow. What is the best pump I can get for my money? *Edit: Sorry, but I had to remove part of your post. WTB offers need to be placed in the correct forum. Thanks, Dino - RC MOD

Thanks!

Other questions:

- What is considered good flow? How much are you really wanting?
- What sized return are you using or does it matter?
- Submersible or not?

I Would guess a flow of at least 800 GPH (at 14 ft of head pressure). Internal or external no big deal. And my overflow is really not a big deal because I can change my overflow rate to match the pump. The intake and return line will be one inch.

Do you think a flow of 800 gph is enough for running through a sump and fuge? I am going to split the overflow line so some goes into the sump and the rest directs in the fuge so I can keep the flow rate lower there.

Thanks for the help!

What size tank do you have?
