Hi,

Took the day off work today to finally get around to doing most of the work for my 150 gallon...

I have 2 closed loop systems with 4 jets per loop in my 150 gallon. I want to find a pump suitable for the purpose. I had bought 2 Rio 10HFs from an ebay store, but the seller disappeared with my pumps and money, along with many other people's items.

Anyways, there is about 8.5' of 3/4" horizontal tubing, with 2x45 degree bends for the corners (8 in total). My head loss with the calculator at reef central is about 1-1.5'.

What kind of pump would be best, inexpensive and where can I find it?

Thanks.

Adam
