pump for 130 gallon?

[SweetCoralline1]

I'm looking at a Reef Octopus Diablo DC Water Pump DC-5500....would this be enough pressure at a 4 foot head? Anyone used these pumps before? Or any suggestions on a better pump?

 

[SweetCoralline1]

just pulled the trigger, so I hope it's good!

I have the 3500 and JPorter has the 5500. This pump will work great for your size tank.

I would have gone with the 3500, but I need the room in the sump and you can't do the 3500 externally.

You will be very happy with the pump. 4 ft of head will be no problem for it.

 

[SweetCoralline1]

Yeah, I like that it is electronically controllable as well. It's not overkill, is it?

I believe JP runs his at full throttle. I know I run my 3500 at full throttle.

I just switched out my Sicce 4 for the Diable DC 5500. Holy, wow! Silent and really like the soft start for water changes. You won't be disappointed.
