Please recommend DC pump for return

[james1990]

I'm doing my first big upgrade to a 150g display SPS only system with a 80-90 gallon sump, as well as a 40 gallon frag tank connected.

I am having a hard time determining how much flow I need and which pump to use.

1) I have two mp40s that I plan on using.
2) the frag tank is about 5 feet away from the sump as well as 40' high off the ground.
3) I want a DC pump
4) I plan on using a manifold for reactors, a chiller, and what ever else.

How to I take all of this into consideration in picking a pump?

Thanks to all who give any help.

I can't tell if these deltec e flow pumps are DC or AC?

Also, what size should I be looking at?

Tagging along.

Anyone using the Waveline DC 12000 or 20000?

I used the 4000+6000 on a 90 and wasnt impressed

I ended up getting a sweet deal on a jabao 12000 from a local vender. I would have went with the waveline which the jabao is based off but they are sold out every where. It also has a cool auto shut off if it runs dry

I have s Diablo DC10500 and it is amazing and quiet and did not make me poor.

Wait a bit until the Jebao DC pumps become more readily available. Apparently, they come from the exact manufacture as Waveline and Diablo. And there dirt cheap.
