My sump and how it works...

[av619]

Hmm I did not know any of that and I have not tested it really. If I get a chance I'll test it tomorrow.

cool, post what you find out.

Yeah it looks like im only doing 90-100 GPH do you think I should run a different pump?

[blazzent]

I think if you went with a different pump(bigger), your overflow might not keep up. I think.....better get more opinions on that one though. Anyone care to input?

yeah i have to cut more slits and ill see ... beacuse right now I know im no able to suck down much more than I can put up. but with my last pipe it had it had more slits and it was flowing allot more ... ill do that all right now and let you know how it goes...

"then ill burn the pumps I guess... I have not found a better alternative yet.... I want a fairly cheap one...."

heres what i did. http://www.sdreefs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78319. the piece i used as a down tube, you can cap off and put slits in it the same as you did in yours.
