I was at wal-mart earlier today in the sports department. I noticed that they had bilge pumps there up to 2000 gph. pumps for only like $20-25. Well I am gonna upgrade to aleast a 100 gal tank in about a month and I am going to build the wet/dry sump from plans I found on the inet. Is there any reason anyone can think why a bilge pump for a boat that handles saltwater would not work if it has the same gallons per hour. I know they run off dc volts but that can be remedied. I know it would save big bucks buying a 1200 gph pump from wal-mart for $20 dollars versus $90 for a mag drive on the inet. All the pipe fittings can be the same so I can not think of any reason why it wouldnt work. Would appreciate any input!
P.S. Anyone know how many gal. sump is required for a 125 gal tank pumping about 1100 gph.?
