Little info about my system...
300 display tank, 140 gallon sump (only running at 70 gallons).
Ampmaster 3000 return pump, pushing approx. 2400 gph through an oceansmotions 4-way. All of this runs through the overflow and through the sump. While the system works great, its very noisy. And I'm only getting like 6x or 7x total system turnover. Originally, I was going to run a second 4-way on closed loop, adding a second high volume pump like the ampmaster.
Now, I'm wanting to redesign the whole system. :lol:
My thoughts are keep the current 4-way, but put it on a much lower volume return pump, like 650gph or lower. I've found that I don't like the energy the ampmaster eats up. (read: amp-eater)
This is where teh streams come in. I was thinking two 6100s on the controller.
More flow, less power consumption, less noise... the only downside is the cost, but I can deal with that.
Is this overkill? It would be like 12,000 GPH turnover, or about 40x
