    Sequence Tiger Shark as Closed Loop pump?

    Sounds like you have it pretty nicely set up so that there is not resonant noise being induced. I agree about the consistancy part, I first had one of the clear blue housing hammerheads, it made a lot of noise, and in taking it apart to try and trouble shoot the noise the housing broke (go...

    Sequence Tiger Shark as Closed Loop pump?

    Thanks for the input Anthony! Do you believe that the noise you are hearing from your hammerhead is not from the vibrations it puts into the floor it is sitting on? I ask this because the hammer head that is currentlly on my closed loop is extremely quiet, though I did put it on mouse pads to...

    1" penductor on Sequence Hammer Head?

    I have a 220 gallon reef tank currently with a barracuda as the sump pump. I have 2 inch PVC running from the barracuda up to the tank and have the total flow running through a 1" Penductor. I am a little bit disappointed with the amount of flow, I really don't think that the penductor is...

    Sequence Tiger Shark as Closed Loop pump?

    Betsy from MDM (or was it Beth?) talked to me for quite a while. She really knew her stuff! Basically told me that I would be very unhappy with the noise of the larger pumps I was lookiing at. She ended up wholeheartedly recommending that I simply add on another hammerhead to my exhisting...

    Sequence Tiger Shark as Closed Loop pump?

    Well I got a good answer from RC, As I understand now, there is not enough head pressure in my system to really warrant a pressure rated pump of the same velocity as the hammer head, so I would not really see any difference in the amount of flow. SO now I begin the search for a higher GPH pump...

    Sequence Tiger Shark as Closed Loop pump?

    So I could use this pump without any problems eh? Sounds good to me! I guess that I don't put much interest in the alternating/wavemaking devices, I already find that I get a ton of random flow with my closed loop, even though it is not a surging type of flow. When I watch my elegance I can...

    Thanks for the welcome! I guess that Anthony must not be around right now. If anyone else has thoughts just chime in.

    Sequence Tiger Shark as Closed Loop pump?

    I have a 220 gallon that currently has a closed loop that is ran by a sequence hammerhead pump. Closed loop is 2" PVC all around, 11 3/4" locline nozzles, hammer head sits on the floor. I am a little disappointed by the amount of flow, I calculate about 400 GPH at each nozzle. I am looking at...
