Help with plumbing/equipment new set up

[saltykid96]

OK tell me how the picture came out. I would either hang the uv right above the the sump or more than likely hide it right behind the sump to keep it out of the way since u will only change bulbs every 6onths to a year. Then you can hang the gfo above the sump. I haven't figured out the pressure for pump size but you defiantly need a bigger pump. Also I would probably do silicone tubing or something of the sort to the uv and gfo instead of hard pvc

This is just my opinion though. Everybody does it there own way

Thanks mate that makes it a lot easier to explain to the man plumbing in the tank : )

Ok so as a very rough and conservative estimate ( not knowing how much tubing u will use or the height of the stand and gph for your uv and gfo) I would say you will have an overall of about 9' of head pressure.(rounding up as much as possible to be safe) I would get the jebao 12000dc which is what I have. It's a very good pump at a very good price and u can control the flow from the controller so if it's too much flow you can dial it down without the need for valve of any sorts. Hope this all helps

The pump does 3170gph at 0head pressure so this should be plenty
