what to do with to much pump?

[riche]

I picked up a pump from a friend who bought a set up and come to find out its a reeflo hammerhead which puts out 6,000 gph. I only have about 6 ft of total head(spilt to 2 returns), its a 180 mixed reef. I'm assuming I can run my reactors and uv ( all on a manifold) off the pump, but I will still have a lot extra, if I plumb it to my remote fuge thats 5 feet away and I still have to much can I dump some back into the sump or should I dial it back with a valve?

I know reeflo pumps can be dialed back but Im worried this might be to much pump

IMO you would be better off selling or trading the hammerhead for a smaller pump
They can be dialed back, but I wouldn't do it that much.

Like stated above, it can be dialed back via a valve but honestly I would sell/trade that pump for another one more suitable to your system.

I have a mag 18 I can use for my main return, and the a mag 5 for the uv, reactor.

Now to feed the remote fuge should I do it off the main drain and let it then drain int ot he main sump or should I feed the guge off the return pump or the mag 5?
