I've got the SDC 9 for my 150.
I like the programmable flow.

What percent are you running it at? Would a 6 or 7 work for me? I didn't want to spend that much if I don't need to.

What did you ultimately go with? I was thinking the 7 for my 72" 127 with dual returns. It's about $30 more to go to the 9. I don't want to overkill it either...

spend the extra $30. better to have too much available and not need it.

I appreciate the feedback. The main reason to go with the DC vs AC is the controllability. Given the coast to coat overflow, I really want to dial in the most natural rhythm for the tank. How did you plumb? Are you running 1 1/4" pipe out of the pump and splitting off to the duals?

my tank is a 150 Tall. 48x24x30.
1" single return. soft pipe to pvc.
I have a "T" in the return I have capped off for future frag tank I'm going to pipe into the system.

That is so very helpful! Thank you!
My current 90 is a tall tank. It frustrated me because I feel like I have T-Rex arms when I can't reach the bottom.
The goal on the new build is to go long and accessible. Those big 150's are beautiful....I'm just not that flexible. LOL

step ladder and 18" tongs.
mines in wall. one thing I wish I had done was have front access.
trying to pick stuff off the bottom I can't see because of the scape, so trying to work backwards off the reflection in the glass is entertaining.
