First Post. =)
I've been consuming forums, watching youtube, talking to LFS for a few months and I finally decided to pull the trigger on my first reef tank. I've ordered a Red Sea 425XL (but hasn't arrived yet) so that's locked in, and my intent was to either start - or eventually transfer to - the Triton Method. One of the keys seems to be trying to get 10x turnover on the display tank volume (which is 800 gph on this tank). I hadn't read as much about head loss before I got started here, and I'm now concerned that there aren't any DC pumps in existence that will drive 800 gph through what is apparently 3/4" plumbing.
Thoughts?
