What submersible pump needed for a 100 gallon tank?

This pump is not enough for return off 100g tank, I use for 46G tank and it is noisy and flow not constant to keep water level I prefer to use mag 7 for 100 gal tank.

It depends on the flow rate you need. If you have a 750 GPH overflow (or 900 in my case) this pump will work fine. If you require more, you'll want to go larger. Typically, a general rule of thumb is 10 GPM/gallon (i.e. 1000 GPM for a 100 gal tank) but its up to you and depends on how much overall flow you want/need in the tank.

It depends on a couple things-How much flow does your components in the sump need? If you have a skimmer with a 500 gph pump, you'll need at least 500 gph for it to be efficient.How much flow does your return handle?Something around 700-1200 gph is what I would shoot for.

Yes, You Will need a pump, You need a pump at least ten times your tank size, if your tank is 50 gallons you need 500 GPH pump

The 3/4 HP shallow well pictured should be adequate. We pump over 100 ft. . Do not get a 1/2 horsepower.

I can check for you later. I assume you mean the diameter of the pump? It is a submersible pump. JHW

Any air compressor can be used to fill this tank. It has a 100psi limit. It fills with a common bike valve tip. Your question is stated in a way that suggest you're asking if the tank can be filled with a 'manual' air compressor or, more commonly referred to as a tire pump. If so, It may be possible to do that but, finding a hand operated tire pump that could handle 100psi, is doubtful.

It has to be just under a gallon, it's a big tank. We ran it all night every night and refilled every 2-3 days. Hope that helps!

It should be a residential type tank 100 gal or larger, and needs a pressure regulator. My propane company came out and did the LP hookup after I installed the unit, I found they were happy to do this as I pointed out it was another unit to use their propane besides the stove...

It would be too big in my opinion, unless you are trying for more of a water feature (i.e., no fish). Pump size required to get good flow would be pretty big in a 100 gallon pond. I would go for a smaller waterfall.

You need a 5 & 3/4" opening for the 100 unit. We have the 350 unit and it requires a 14 & 7/8" opening in the tank lid. I'm going off the spec's for your size that are indicated on the website.

I would go with at least the 50 watt. Probably the 100 would be better. You can always put it a little bit diagonally in the tank. it is ok to fully submerge even the top part. I would consider going with 2 50watt heaters with one on either end of the tank for a more even heating effect. Plus both heaters would last longer because neither one would have to work as hard.

None of them!! It was designed for a container manufactured overseas (like the unit) and the threads are not compatible. On the plus side, the pump is fully submersible, and the best containers we found are the Aqua Tainer 7Gal (dark blue cube), it has a wide enough mouth that the whole pump drops right in with the hose, cable, etc.

You can see a chart on depth/psi and some additional specs here: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/Mine is at 100' - I didn't get a chance to measure the gpm on my install, but it seems at least 12 gpm. Of course, my well is a slow artesian so I usually have 100' of head water on top of the pump. But so far it's been a great pump.

all you need is a two stage regulator for 100 pound tank cant use single and get 3/8 hose the length you need ...the hose plugs striaght into the regulator and the heater if you need the fitting for your heater you can buy that only at hardware store.they will know what you need..goes in bottom of heater and they will have a secondary shut off valve good for not havin to go outside to turn off gas..hope this helps..

I would say the 700 or the 1200. The 700 is good for up to 65 gallons, so that would hopefully be enough for the turtle. I hear they are pretty messy though, so it wouldn't hurt to go with the 1200 which is good for up to 150 gallons. It seems like a lot, but you cant really have too much filtration. It would require less maintenance, keep the water crystal clear, and allow for you to use it for a larger aquarium if you decided to upgrade. It's totally up to you with your future plans and how much money you have at the moment.

I am using the cheapest 1 gallon compressor that pumps 100psi and it works fine.

This may be a little far for this small pump to handle. It does well up to 100'.
