[gixxer600]

I am setting up a 60 cube and was wonder what you guys are running as a return pump?

I was told 10x system volume is a good benchmark to start at.

I just set up my 60 cube running a mag 5 and it's perfect.

It should all depend on the size of your drain. You want to push full capacity but NEVER exceed it.
There are calculators out there I just don't remember where. I think 1" handles around 350-400gph and
1.5" about 700gph.

Im running a larger pump!! but I am running the Pump/Sump from the basement with 12 ft head to the tank. Running a 1 in return line pump supposed to send 500 to 600 gph to tank at 12ft
