OK, I need someone to verify my calculations. I mocked up my CL system and this is what I came up with. It will be 1 1/2" PVC throughout. The pump will be located below the tank in the stand but static head still should be 0 as the water coming down is helping push the water up. The entire CL...

This thread lists the equipment I have so far: http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111400 When I got the tank, I decided to go ahead and test everything I had to make sure it worked properly. The only part of it that I couldn't truly test was the skimmer. But, with plain water...

In the line of sequence pumps, do they all need to have flow to the pump for them to blow water or will they suck as well. I ask cause I need to do an out of sump return pump and would like to put it above the sump like 2 feet and just drop a pipe into it. Will this work? Mike

Here is my calculations from the calculator from RC. This was configured using a Mag 24, which is what I thought I could get away with. Apparently not according to my measurements. I have a 18x12 space in my sump that I can fill with pump, just not sure what direction to head. I would need...
