I just got a call and my stuff is being dropped off this morning! I made the shelf yesterday that will support both external pumps and have all the plumbing I will need so when I get home, I will be draining the tank and plumbing in that other pump. So for flow, I will have (2) 1500 gph pumps and (1) 950 gph return on my little 2 ft tank!

I would have gotten a Sequence pump from the start, but the 2 inch and 1.5 inch inputs and outputs are too bulky for where I have my tank. That size plumbing is insane!!!

You could reduce the input to 1 1/2" with a little loss but no issues with the pump, I called & asked about that.
BTW that is their newest little pump.

WOW! their newest little pump has a 2 inch suction:lol: My pumps have 1 inch suction and discharge which works really well for my size tank. Whenever when I go back to a bigger tank, then I'll use some of those Sequence pumps. You guys would see flow then! I only went small in the beginning because I didn't really know what I was dealing with where closed loops are concerned because the majority of my flow came from Tunzes, but now I know...Watch out for me when I get a 6 footer!

Why didn't I see that before!!!!(ROFL) That pump works out to about 2,000 or so gph right? If I calculated that right, I'm still a bit better off with running the 2 pumps because I will get about 3,000 gph for under $200. Now if I was just going to run one pump (like I had planned from day 1) then that Sequence pump may have done it for me by itself!

I figured I'd just transfer over the pics from the other thread for the record. I'll update photos later when I figure out the nozzle placement

How is the noise level, with the dueling Quiet Ones?
Krish
RF STAFF
What noise???(LOL) They are real quiet! They come with a rubber pad you put under them for vibration noises which must help because I don't get any. The pumps hardly hum either like your typical pumps do. In a cabinet, you'd never even know they were there, but outside is still nothing to talk about

Guess that's why they are called "Quiet Ones"
Krish

LOL! Yup! The have bigger pumps as well that I would look into if I had a bigger tank because I like the Quiet One's, but the Sequence pumps are nice as well

I had a 4000 that I bought to use as a closed loop on my 40. While I was installing the pvc, I broke the threaded inlet plate.
I called everywhere to try and get a new one and nobody had one.
I ended up with a mag 12 for my closed loop.
I called the manufacture and they were supposed to send me a new part, but that was 8-9 months ago and still no part.

Wow! You could have had a baby during that time(LOL) Yeah, they are nice pumps. Steve (Wrightme43) turned me on to them because that is what he runs through a sea-swirl and loves it. Very nice pump for the price and it comes with the threaded barbed fitting as well

Here is some surface aggitation from my flow. I reduced the outputs back to the single nozzle per bulkhead and it's insane! The tank got really messy as a result so I'll take a pic later of the placement and if you didn't see my other thread about the closed loop, I lost a gargonian
