Ok rookie, newbie, just stupid mistake.....! the pump was air bound We primed the pump and it works, I shut it off to make an adjustment , and had to prime it again.. Am I going to have to prime it everytime the power goes out or I shut it off to feed ????????
Hi Phyl , thanks for the help . Yes I disconnected it from the 2 unions and held it in the sump and no output. the motor runs but no flow . took the front plastic cover off to check the motor the motor turns the impeller looks good the pump is only months old and looks good inside. looked on the...

I chatted with 2 people from PA today the one guy suggested the heavy duty 4 for my metal halides so they start better and or quieter. but said I should be ok with the standard one if I did not want to spend the extra money. I just want to make sure I make an educated purchase. they are about 80...

yes I agree. its nice of you guys to help me . I think untill I find another sump of equal size that someone is getting rid of I will just do it the way we spoke about. it would be nice to get something like you have, to plumb into my rubbermaid to hold my skimmer and a small fuge. I am actually...
When I drilled the hole for the return bulkhead I drilled it at the bottom so I will drill the second hole in the bottom also then I guess I will build the durso pipes like the return pipes in my tank, Is that correct. ? and thanks again Chuck P
From what I have learned you have approx 8 ft of head pressure. are you looking for internal or external pump.For an external pump, I would recommend an iwaki pump with the Japanese motor I know the 70rlt is rated for 1560 gph . Plus there are smaller models
ok the #2 option is the one I will go for. The sump is acrylic so I will drill and or redrill for the correct size holes. And please forgive my ignorance but the durso pipes in the skimmer sump would be just like the ones in the tank ?? A pipe off of each 1 1/2" bulkhead to a t- fitting to drain...
