Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this!
I upgraded from a 80g to my current 140ish gallon system back in September and bought a bunch of new equipment including a S2 return pump. I run it at 100% and it pushes water up about 4ft before it enters my DT. Is this pump a good size for my water volume? To me it seems like the pump is not generating a lot of flow and I feel that I may need a larger pump. Before I go ahead and purchase a new pump I'd like some opinions on if this S2 is fine for my system or if I should go get a larger pump.
I should also mention that I feel that it did slow down a bit since September. I've noticed that my overflow has almost an inch worth of water missing compared to 1-2 months ago. I am thinking this is because my pump needs a clean which I plan on doing tonight.
Any opinions and suggestions welcome. Thanks everyone.
