pump choice any help?

postalj · 10/21/2006, 05:45 AM

I'm setting up a 72 bow in wall and need some feedback on a return pump. The return will be pvc going through approximately 6' feet, however it is not a straight return back to the main display. I am using a CPR overflow rated at 600 gph. It will be draining into a 29 gallon sump. Any ideas would be great.

You didn't say if you were looking at a internal or external pump.
I've used mad drive pumps with good success.
I'd say look at a Mag 7 or 9.5
