Dart pump

[THINKTANK]

I am going to buy an upgrade pump for my 215. Any one have experience with a Reefflow Dart sequence pump?

Thanks

I have one on my 200 I wish I had bought the Cuda for more flow.

Hey Casey how loud is it? I was think of use a dart for a return then a cuda for a closed lp. I since moved up to cuda for both pumps.

Randy its not very loud I just wish it was stronger I went with it for the lower wattage consumption how do you like the cudas?

Dont know yet there just penciled in on my planning sheet. I am upgrading tanks from my 190 to ether 360 gal or 460 gal tank. James at envision is my builder. I have predecided to go with that line of pumps so when ever i see a thread about them i jump in.
However my LFS runs the cudas and them seem quit and move a ton of water. He has one running a 6 tank frag system and one as a cl lp on a 300 gal sps cube tank.

Cool when I upgrade from this tank I will go with the cudas for sure I have heard they move a ton of water also I will put them on my 400 I just have to watch the wattage elec is already near $400

Very scary, I am planning 6 400 watt hqi's + 2 or 4 6" ft vho+ 2 x cudas for flow + cal reator pump + skimmer pump or pumps undecided on the skimmer still. Add fans and gulp possablity of a 1hp chiller and am scared to death of the electric bill.

Well guess I will welcome $500 a month for power Im sure the bulbs will heat my house up to I cant decide on a skimmer either I have tried alot of them and am not satisfied as of yet.

[Ranran]

What are the dimisions of the 400 you are planning? I am going with 72X36X30 or 72X48x30 depending on the numbers i get back from James.

[Casey]

It will be aleats 72x42x24 I dont want it tall cause I cant reach over the 24" mark LOL short arms I havet decided exactly yet,James does great work
