what size pump do I need for a 90 gal saltwater tank?

I have the 1500 on my 75. If your only getting one pump go bigger, but two would work. I'll be adding a second 1500 to replace my cheaper powerhead soon,

They have a chart that will make suggestions for you but you'd need more I think than this1050/1150, but then it'll also depends on how many you are going to use & how much rock work you have as you don't want any stagnant areas.

Well , i used mine on a freshwater tank ... I don't know about saltwater . Sorry i can't help .... But in general , this wavemaker is strong and good for big aquariums

The pump is set at 75psi. A tank with 100psi is a good option. More important is the size of the tank, 2gal, 4gal, 6gal, etc, depending on the consumption of water to avoid continuous running of the pump. Important to know, is that whenever this pump fails when out of warranty, simply throw it away since no spares are available.

1 is barely enough 2 shouldn't hurt I have 2500gph in my 55 and it could take more a good rule of thumb go salt water is "a minimum of 20gph flow per 1 gallon of tank volume" so a 55 needs a minimum of 2100 gph also just watch your aquarium and give it what it likes

Maybe look at the Hydor Koralia Nano 240 Aquarium Circulation Pump 240 GPH , or the 425 model...that is what I am looking at for my 46 gal.

yes the salt water pump should be in the kit. if it comes with the paper filter I highly recommend getting the bigger pump with the sand filter.

Should work really well. You will need a separate RO storage tank and pump though.

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.

The size of your pool should be fine. As far as the saltwater goes, I'm not sure since my pool is freshwater. I would check the manufacture specs. or call the manufacturer directly.

I actually have this hanging on the back of a 20L right now. It's my quarantine tank. Doesn't take up a ton of room. Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the length of the back. Make sure you get a good pump to pump through it. You don't need much volume (90gph is plenty), but the brand I bought is just about dead after only a year of use.

i think soi'm happy with mine on a 90 gal reef.i did however do some slight mods- an aqualifter pump to enhance the venturi overflow & get rid of bubbles- upgraded the skimmer pump to an ASM G1 (with a slight mod) for greatly improved skimmer action

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

probably so, I use it on a 90 gallon saltwater and it keeps the water at 78 like I set it

it has 900 lb max capacity so a 90 gal tank is supposed to be the max according to the papers that come with it. that being said if all your gravel and decorations and equipment total 100lbs or less it might work. also that is assuming your tank is 1 not glass and 2 same footprint as a standard 90 (48 x 18). 100 gal of water = 800 lbs ur tank (if glass) = 180 lbs gravel for 48x 18 = 100lbs equipment (lights, filter ect) = 50 lbs approximate total is 1130lbs so the only way that would work is if ur tank was acrylic and it was a bare bottom.

No. Any regular pump will work. I have several small aquarium pumps for my tomato buckets

Almost any size will work, I use a High-output oil-free pump delivers 2.8 CFM @ 90 PSI and 150 PSI max operating pressure like this model BOSTITCH CAP1512-OF 1.2 Gallon Oil-Free High-Output Trim Compressor. The larger the better but this works for field use.

what size is your tank? I have a 300 watt in my 90 gallon saltwater . Temperature set at 78 and it stays at 78. I ran it at 82 degrees when it was cycling

This is way too small this is only for a 36 gallon tank. It may be too small for a 90 gallon reef.
