I am running my filtration system down to my basement. Which is running into 2 drum around 30 gallons each then back up to my tank... My tank is a 72 bow... It is about a 8 ft distance from basement to tank. What size pump would I need? I am looking at 2 pumps ... One is a Aquar pump that pushes 1640 gph but at 8 ft it comes to about 750 gph.... The second pump is the new Rio 32hp which say it pushes 3900 gph but don't quote me on that but I am close ,and my figures on that at 8 ft is about 1100 gph? SO which would be better?
