WHAT pump to get ,,Helpm please

[sm fragman]

i am setting up a new system mostely all sps i have 1100 gph return pump and here are my tank dimentions

36"=24"=24" bare botton and open rock work
i thought of going wiht 1 6060 at first and seeing what it will do,,maybe adding another 6060 later if i need it ,,can not afford to send the money on the 6000 or th 6100 right now ,,stll need to get my reactor ,,what do you think

Keep in mind that a 6060 cannot be run on a wavemaker or controlled in anyway. It should be fine but it is always better to have more randomness in flow that the 6060 would provide. If you add a Seaswirl to your return it would work very well as you could get some randomness that way.

thannks ,,the way my return lineas go i will be running the 6060 across the return line so i get some random flow i will think about the sea swirl ,,so the 6060 will be ok them ,,alot of people run closed loops and it is kind of the same thing wiht a 6060 right ?

Most closed loops have smaller diameter outlets so the flow would be different but I think the 6060 will work and is certainly cheaper and probably better in many ways.
