    Looking for a realible and quiet sump pump for a 72Gal I am building.  Been out of the hobby for about 5 years so was wondering what are some good pumps out there now.  [​IMG]
    Thanks for the input.

    i just bought a mag 9.5 for my 72. i will have a 29 gal sump and a return line that that splits for 2 returns into the tank. http://www.reefcentral.com/index.php/head-loss-calculator. this may help you in figuring out what you may need.

    not sure why, if you go to www.reefcentral.com and look on the lower left side there is a head loss calculator
