But I don't have experience with basement set ups. SO maybe someone else can chime in on a pump recommendation
Darryl_V link said:I can highly recommend a gen-x Mak 4. Mine has been running solid for almost 5 years now. I think it's only been shut off once and I can't remember why now. Its only 109watts and is fan cooled external so it doesnt add too much heat.

Darryl_V link said:Hey Dan.
It was strictly for the return and didnt offer that much flow by the time it reached the upstairs display. The pump was on the floor in the basement. I should have designed it to sit higher up though.
Any case it seems like its been discontinued. You might want to consider an Iwaki.
EricTMah link said:Very nice!
I didn't have a recommendation on pump size because I'm not used to dealing with 8+ feet of head. But a total of 500-600gph through the display is plenty as long as you provide power heads to circulate within the tank. I run around 450-500gpm through my 120g DT

Basement set up will look great once the fish room is set up and the location of DT placement will be a real showcase for your beautiful new home. Congrats !

Duke link said:wow that stand looks great but is it safe to support a big tank on 3/4\" board? does the builder know that 120 Gallons of water with a tank and everything else is pushing 1500 lbs?
davesolo29 link said:It's true. Plywood is much stronger than it looks. We normally use 3/8 ply for roof sheathing. 2x4 trusses spanning 16-24\". Loading 15-20 bundles in one location. Average of 80lbs/bundle. Never had a roof come down on me yet from that.

spyd link said:I run the Water Blaster HY10000 as well. It is a fantastic pump! Runs dead silent and definitely pumps out a lot of flow. I run everything off my pump, frag tank, water change/sump tank, display tank, biopellet reactor and dual reactor. Lots of flow for everything and still good flow into the tank.
That stand is lloking great!
