scwd question

[ReefWidowed]

What's the smallest pump i can run a SCWD off of? I just remembered I had one lying around. I bought a couple of used Maxi 900s (thank you, thank you btw) to fix a trapped air problem, and now I'm wondering if I could achieve that with one maxi and a SCWD and then put the other somewhere else to boost overall flow.

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure how accurate these #'s are, but should give you some idea of flow loss/switching times. I've never owned one.

Melev has a neat HOB closed loop that uses a scwd

No reason you couldn't modify his idea a bit to keep everything in tank
