Posted	CENTRAL FILTER SYSTEM
19-01-2007 23:00 by Ste	i am in the middle of designing a central filter system for my fish house . the tanks linked would work out at 500gallons of water i intend to use a 50gallon sump filled with bio ball and tubes also 3 layers of filter sponge on the top and then a 25 gallon resevior my problem is finding a high power water pump that will pump water around the system 6 times an hour , At the moment i am considering 2 ocean runner 6500 teed into 1 . the purpose of the excorsise is to half my electricity costs . so does anyone know of an external pump the would pump 3000 gallons an hour that has an wattage rating less than 190watts

20-01-2007 00:47 by paul stevens	Well thank you young wayne...
20-01-2007 12:34 by tony	have a look at the aqaumax pumps good turn over and only 55 watts and 3 year warranty there are some on ebay at moment .
20-01-2007 12:41 by Danny Boy	check out the pond pumps in your local fish shop. thats what i use on 500 gallons
21-01-2007 14:36 by Ste	I have been down to a few lfs but they dont have an external pump with a large enough head flow . most of them are submersible .
21-01-2007 14:39 by Ste	Paul thanks for the link , the only problem is that the american pumps run on 110volt which isnt suitable for our supply. I did consider swimming pool pumps but they are not designed to run 24/7 so the ocean runners are still looking favourite.
