Which pump would you suggest?

[doswari]

I'm currently putting together a closed loop for my 44 gallon pentagon tank and was hoping some of you could give me some suggestions. The tank is not drilled so the intake to the closed loop will go over the back wall and drop 24" to a pump then out to a SCWD, then out to the sides of the tank. One side will go through 4 90degree elbows and the other will go through 5 90 degree elbows and a 45 degree elbow. I'll take a picture of it ithout a pump when I get home. Most of the tubing is 3/4" ID PVC with a small section of 3/4" vinyl tubing b/w the pump and the SCWD.

I need suggestions on what type and size pump would be adequate taking into acount headloss through the tubing and the SCWD. The tank has mostly SPS with some LPS and softies.

How about a GRI 510 which is pressure-rated, 960 GPH, and dead silent?

You can find more info here.

I am selling one here.

I'd say a Little Giant 2 would be good. I think its rated about 500 or 600 gph, and you'll lose about 20% with the scwd. You can get them used on here for about $40 or $50. Or a Quietone pump - I've seen a lot of them for sale.
