Anyone running a mag 18 external?
Thinking of using a different sump and its drilled for a external sump and I either am going to use my mag 18, or a blue line 40x.
The mag 18 will give me more return (not by much with head loss but the blue line is a pressure rated pump at 1250 gph
Its going to be a around 5 ft of head from the sump to the return which is split on a 180.
I am getting my flow in the tank from my powerheads so Im not concerned about the "flow" from the return.
Whats your thoughts and opinions
