Hello all. I was wondering if the dc2500 would be a good choice since red sea says 530gph for flow rate. The 2500 is rated for 660 but should I get a bigger pump to not run it as hard? Was thinking the dc4000 if I did change.
 
you have to consider 90 and 45 fittings, size pipe and height all take away head pressure. you would need a bigger pump. probably lucky to get 450 gph out of that pump.
