Did you just say "only 525w of power" :lol: that's a kWh every 2 hrs.
It's a beast of a pump but man is that gonna add up. I don't think all my pumps and powerheads combined use that much electricity in 4 tanks.

Holy cow, that is so not the pump to get. YOu should have picked up that gen x pc 40 from will. Thats what I ran on my 180 and I had to dial it down. I also ran it on my 54 corner with the pump and sump in the basement. again dialed down to not over flow the tank.


Get a pump in the 100 watt range max 200 or else you'll want to take the tank down in a few months. IMO

Jeff unless you have a pretty large rise you are going to want a low speed Reeflo pump. The high speed pumps like the Blackfin will cost you double in electric, at 4-5ft of head, that the Reeflo Barracuda will and you will get the same output. Now at 20 ft of head the Barracuda is at 0 GPH.

Im going about 15feet

Jeff if you go to Marine Depot's website and go to the reeflo extrenal pumps. If you click the details tab on any of the pumps they have a nice chart and graph showing the efficiency of the pumps. They don't offer the Blackfin yet, but this helps visualize the GPH vs. Watts based on head.
