I have a 140 gal reef . Is this going to be enough power? It will be located in my sump under the tank with. One T connection to two return heads.

This pump serves you for almost 1300 gallons, also has an adjustable knob to adjust the volume of water, remember that the pump must move 3 times minimum water volume

Yes it has plenty of power. It depends on how many feet below your tank the pump is located. For example if the plumbing is down in the basement of your house then this pump would not be suitable but, mine was pumping against 10 feet total and had plenty of power. There is an online calculator which can estimate the flow of your pump depending on the head pressure it has to pump against which you can search for. Hope this helps your decision.

I am actually using mine for the same purpose, but I do have a second pump for my chiller which provides additional flow, as well as two power heads to mix up the currents. It is recommended with pump size ito turn over the total volume of water 10-15 times per hour.

I use one on my 120 display with no issue for the last 2 years. I also have one T to 2 1-inch returns. I am on my 2nd pump. First one burned out in about a year due to calcium build up. Have to clean them in vinegar every 4-6 months for longevity. Overall great pump though. Powerful.

It really depends on how much flow you're looking to put though the sump. I can say that I have one of these pumps for the return on my 90 gal. It's quiet and pushes a decent amount of flow over two 3/4 lines. Hope this helps.

It all depends on how tall your stand is... in other words how many feet up will your pump have to push in order to reach the tank. You should be able to find head pressure values on Eheim's site, so you can figure out if this pump is right for your needs.

Yup it working for my 30g anemone/lps tank. I don't think the flow is SPS strong, but flow is great. Keep in mind that my tank has almost no rocks with a return pump of 500gph. Perhaps you can keep one of the koralia. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes. It will do a great job. My 100 gal Mixed stony reef is flourishing under 2 units. They are dimmed down slightly at 14k.

this power heads are great for that big of tank i believe i would use about four of them they blow much easier then the old ones , you can direct them much easier also.

It should work fine, depending on your bioload or amount and type of "pooduction". I used this on my 55g and it did well. It can be a pain to dial in, but it starts producing skimmate almost immediately. I had a hard time with it when I turned off my return pump for feeding an maintenence. It would take a few moments to dial back in and the increased water volume in the sump due to some backfill from the tank until my syphon break stopped it, could cause the collection cup to overflow. All in all 3/5 stars. Decent skimmer for the money.

No I have this in a 12 gallon fluval edge and it works great. Might need stronger for a 30gal depending on length and how strong of current you want. But works great on my small 12gal very satisfied.

Yes it will work just fine. Be sure to turn down the regulator so you aren't using 150 psi. We use about 30 psi to blow our lines. It has a small 1.5 gallon tank so it will work fine.

I would think you would want more power although I use it on my 24 foot (12,000 gal) above ground pool and its just fine.

That depends on the current draw of your sump pump. Most seem to be under 10A and so should be okay with the 13A this cord can offer. Do be sure though that your generator is designed to handle starting a motor -- to do so requires a sudden rush of power. Once the motor is up to speed, it goes back to a steady so the cord should be okay unless the pump cycles so frequently the cord has time to heat up with the more frequent starting overloads.

Yes it would help as my pool is a 14000 gallon. 1.5hp would be fine for that size pool. I am extremely happy with my Pentair 1hp.

This 150 watt will work for your tank. Most sources suggest 3-5watt per gallon. Lights create heat and regular room temp affect the waters average before heating. Mine doesn't come on much in the summer at all. If tank is on an outside wall it will be colder than the middle of your house. Same for if you live in warmer area like Texas vs michigan where it's always colder. I'm using it on a 75gal right now. Will add another in winter if it can't keep up.

This would help move the water. Great pumps i really recommend the cobalt's over most others. They are silent and last forever. But if you have red cyano algae yea just this powerhead won't fix the issue. You need to really check your parameters and if those are in a good place i would highly recommend http://www.amazon.com/Boyd-Enterprises-CC02-Chemi-Clean-2/dp/B00025YRJS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413336934&sr=8-1&keywords=chemiclean Stuff works wonders. Just make sure to read and do what the instructions say. I had a full red tank once. The next day it was gone with this stuff. And corals opened up also. If you have a bad bacteria outbreak like red cyano algae i would recommend both.

Stephen this meter head is not water tight and I don't really know of any that are!! I would take it that you have a salt water reef system??? I owned one for many years and this meter would not be any help to you!! As long as you use either the 50/50 bulb or 10,000k you will have good luck with your fish and coral!!!! Also your plant life will thrive very well!!I hope I was of some help to you!!Walt

yes, you need a power source from somewhere. you should be able to find a hot under the console from another item on the terminal block, depending on boat accessories.

I have one of these on my 140g. It works great but I also have a Emporer bio wheel, the bigger one. It depends on what you are keeping. I have big carnivores so I have to do twice a week water changes and extra filtration. I do recommend this pump.

I used it as intended, for above ground pool. This is a 115 v motor and draws 12-15 amps . The motor is working near max power on normal installation. The added "head " or load would be too much for any extended period. I would look for 2 HP 230v system.

I'm not sure, I would call there help center. I can tell you that it works great, I used this inverter several times over four hours to power buff my boat with no problems. Hope this helped
