I just picked up a pair of 6060s in the selling forum.
I have a couple questions:
Apparently, they don't come with any mounting hardware. If I were to buy the magnet holders for these, would I need to make sure I purchase anything else with them to be sure they can be mounted to the magnets, if so, where would I find it? Or do the magnet holders come with all necessary hardware to mount the 6060s?
Also, I am planning on upgrading to a 120. Will these provide adequate flow in addition to a return pump from the sump? I plan to run at least 800gph as a return pump (~1100gph pump @ ~4ft of head). I keep primarily SPS, but also have a large carpet anemone and a couple BTAs.
Lastly, I have a Digital Aquatics reefkeeper and even though I would love to run these on a cycle, I have read that it voids warranty, burns the motor, etc... But did read that I could put them on a 1hr cycle. Would running these pumps at 1hr intervals on opposite cycles be beneficial? IE, one pump runs while the other is off, and after 1 hr, they switch.
Thanks for your help Roger. I appreciate it!!! I am excited, I may have to run one 6060 in the 55 SPS tank I have until I can afford to upgrade to the 120!
