Mcgyvr,

Thank you so much for the response. My tank size is 120 Gallons and I plan on using a Sicce Syncra 5.0 return pump. Looking at the head pressure chart at five feet it would be 1,000 GPH. If you assume a 100 gallons of water that equates to a turnover of 10 times.
However if you use the calculator and add in all 90's and etc. the flow drops to 550 gallons or a turn over 5.5 . My concern is Do I have the right return pump? or will I run into problems with a syphon overflow (Bean Animal)
