Return Pump for 180 gal

[jprice]

I have a Deep Sea Aquatics 185 with biult in overflows ( one in each corner ) and was wondering what size return pump or pumps to use ( internal or external ).

dont know if its right or wrong but i have a quiet one 5000 on my setup. its a 150 but close enough id say.

One pump then you split off the overflows

yeah mine just has a "T" some people use those rotating octopus things to get a wave effect

Keep the Tee fitting in the middle of the tank, so the plumbing on either side is identical in fittings and distance. This will keep the flow even in the tank.

I am a fan of seperate pumps for each overflow. That way if one stops you still have flow going thru the sump.
