Impressive! On the distance between Basement sump/pumps and display tank - how many feet (as the water winds its way through pipe and fittings)? Do you know the head pressure your working with? Or did you plumb it and hope for the best that the pumps used with work?

Also, as I go through my planning process, I'm waffling between Bashsea 60 and Reef Synergy 60 or 72. Any reason why you picked Bashsea?

If I remember right I am at 28ft with the various 10 put my just shy of 4000gph. the various 10 pump had a great chart displaying this. I chose the Bashsea do to a friend having one and my really liking the fit and finish and wanted to bring my water volume to 300g. Doing it over I may have went the route of a reef mat. instead of socks. but I do love the look and feel of the Bashsea

Yeah, I originally wasn’t 100% convinced that they were going to be enough really I’m only running them at about 28% so far so good. They are big and I had to modify my sump to fit both of them
