Plumbing 90g... what Mag do I use???

[AngeloM3]

I have a Mag5 now. Not to loud. But what I do anyways is silicone suction cups to it so it doesnt sit right on the bottom of the sump.

I'll check out those two pumps though... change is always good (sometimes )

Mag7 is a lot louder than a Mag5. BTW, you can convert that Mag5 to a Mag7 with a $10 impeller swap.

I had a mag 9.5 on my 55 reef. I also had a fuge and everythign was awesome. No problems what so ever. Once you factor in SCWDs, 90 and 45 bends the 9.5 will be perfect.

I missed the SCWDs part. That makes a huge difference. A 9.5 with a SCWD flows about as much as a Mag5.

oops....... sorry..... mistype in my first post

I'll only be running 1 SCWD... but that will be on its on CL pump

So I'll still be going with the Mag7 for my return pump
