Sk8n Reefer Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Congrats on the sump swap! This is gonna be fun ? how many feet are you pumping the water? 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Congrats on the sump swap! This is gonna be fun ? how many feet are you pumping the water? Not quite sure on the exact measurement. I think it's around 9'. We have a blue line 40DX doing the pumping which is about 600gph at that height. So it worked out perfectly. 3 Quote Link to comment
