Hi, I previously had a few questions on how to set up a three way filtration btwn a wet/dry sump, a refugium and back to my main tank. Now I was wondering that if a model 402 (270gph) is enough to pump from my sump to my refugium. They are next to each other making the requirement for power less. Both the sump and refugiium arein their seperate tanks and are located beneath the main tank. If it is enough power from the
power head, what size pump do I need to pump water back up to my main tank? It is about 2.5 to 3 ft below the display. I tried the 402 but it wasnt strong at all. It made it up but wasn't enough. I also heard that you need to get same size pumps, I do not believe that but if its true can someone let me know. Because obviously I need a bigger stronger pump in my refugium to pump upwards to the display versus the pump from the sump to the refugium. Last question, I have an overflow box for the sump and it siphons down but I was wondering if the 402 will be enough to pump to the refugium and control the water level in the sump from the siphon? (It is a wet/dry the sump is so the water level has to be at a certain level for the wet/dry action to work, this is said in regards of the intake siphon power versus the ourput powerhead power.) Thanks, I need the help, I plan to set up either today or by the end of this weekend! oh yeah Happy FRIDAY!!!!!!!!
