Tank is going to have to sit this far from the wall anyway (plumbing)
So, you might as well "disguse" it with the deeper Cabinet and Back panel...:thinking:

But I was "mistaken"..

You said in an earlier post that we will need 3 pumps that's including the simmer.

Yep...The Sedra is for the skimmer...it needs it's own pump to operate...
And then the Mag would be for the return (from the sump to the tank...)
And then we'll talk about a third for the C/L system....
:D
"This" would be the third..

Dolphin Amp Master 2700 this might be out of my price range. What are other options & what is the GPH that it needs?

In order to reach the "Goals" set earilier..
>>>120X30=3600..1200 from sump+2400 from C/L<<<
You'll want to look for a pump that will push 2400 gph through the C/L system...
Something with a 1 1/2" inlet...
Preferably external design...and "pressure rated"...
Little Giant TE 5.5 MDQ-SC would work...
Sequence 2900SEQ21...
BlueLine HD 70 would be light...
Gen_X Mac5 would also be light... (these last two will push more like 1500-1600 gph...

AlrightyO Squidd,
Just got a call from Tom. We will be picking up the tank on March 18th. The OF's size had to change to 6" x 6" but they are still in the corners.
Looks like I will be going with the Dolphin but I'm still price shopping.........

He Squidd looking at the pumps what is the difference between the Sequence 2900SEQ21 vs. the MT3200SEQ21???? Also what about the HammerHead as well for the CL??? I know after talking with Paul alot of people are running the HammerHead w/OM and having good success?????

Just looked that one up for another "purpose"...seems the 2900SEQ21 has been replaced by the 3200SEQ21 (slight upgrade)...
The Hammerhead on the other hand is a monster pump and not in the same catagory...(flow wise)...
The Dart is not too bad for this application (little big) but I think the Dolphin 2700 is the ticket...Less amp draw and closer to the goal flow we want without having to "choke" it off..
