Squirt Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Is this your marine? I hear 20x turnover so umm 2500L per hour pump should do :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Well it's only turning over the water at 2/3.6 L per second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayne Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 the pump works but isnt big/strong enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 if your using a stream type pump id go at least 5000lph one of the sunsun ones should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 i Have a Resun small 2000l and was looking at getting something like Sunsun JVP102A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 good idea i have one of the resuns its pretty useless for anything other than a very small tank. the sunsuns are much quieter and reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 have a look for a second hand tunze 6025 you can mod them and make the flow almost double, there getting pretty cheap now too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
