Looking for a reliable pump to replace a quiet one (which lives up to its name because it is very quietly not working)
Here is my setup:
58 gallon Reef Ready with closed loop
The closed loop is connected to the tank with a nipple on the outside and a 90 bend connected to the bulkhead.
This leads to a 4 ft flex PVC line (1")
Connected to a Quiet One 4000
which outputs to a 2 ft. flex PVC line
which then goes to a t-connection
2 opposite flex PVCs run from the t-connection
which bends (a la the flex)
They connect to two 90 bends each which fit over the lip of the tank.
FInall connected lockline fittings from the 90 bends to angle the water distribution.
If you have experience and can suggest I do anything differently please do so. I measured the total length of tubing from which the pump must pump water up to and here are my readings:
Pump is on the floor
20 " from the floor to the t-connection
34" (X@ one for each side) of fllex to the 90 bends.
How much head height would this be considered, the Quiet One 4000 is suppossed to be able to output to 10 ft. max so I think that would suffice.
Sorry for the long a$$ thread
