What is the footprint of the Sedra 12000 (1200gph)pump. Will it fit in my 10"X 12"X 16" sump with another sedra 5000 (500gph) and a 2500(250gph)? Right now I have 2 sedra 5000's running the plumbing to the tank. And a sedra 2500 attached to the U.V. Sterilizer. Problem is I have to add a chiller and another Sedra 5000 pump which requires 480 gph. The space isn't large enough to house all 3 5000's. The chiller pump is stuck to the wall on top of the other 2 and the uv 2500 has been moved to the protein skimmer section of the sump. That too is upright stuck to the wall vs. sitting on the floor. (I want to replace 2 5000's with one 12000 for space). Lastly, I had to raise the water level in the sump to make sure everything is completely submerged. As a result if the power fails....guaranteed overflow! I was hoping to add the 12000 so I could "T" it off so that 1/2 could continue to run the tank and the other half can splice off into my chiller. And hoping to be able to fit the U.V. pump back in there? Makes me nervous when the pumps art not planted on the sump floor. Suggestions? The sump is so packed I don't even have room for my (2) 300 watt heaters. Is there any ways to resolve this problem w/o having to buy a larger sump? Thanks, Craig.
