* It is not uncommon for people with real actual incomes to be running large
tanks or as in my case systems totalling well over the 2000 gallon average
Florida home pool size.
* *To the original author of the question....yes you can mount your pump
above the waterline - put a backflow preventer at the intake side and make a
"U" with pvc at the pump IE: if looking at your pump....it will have pipes
sticking up to create a mini field goal with your pump being the support.
this will enable you to have a bit of water in the pump should the electric
fail - helps it re-prime and remember in a reef system NEVER count on a
backflow preventer to be a sole solution as they gather coralline algea and
such and will allow backflow after only a few months."Jürgen Exner" wrote in message

Wow! I'm impressed!
Could you upload some photos of your pool-sized reef tank and post a
link here?

I do not think the OP has a ****ing fish tank or pond dude, he has a
$109.99 Wally World inflatble wall swimming pool......duh! So most
Flordia homes have a "2000" gal pool, huh, well thats stil lin the
same catagory as Wally Worlds Plastic inflatable side swimming pools
still with a price of about $169.00........Seems I recal most are at
least a minimum of 10K to be even considered as a pool unless you
tack on the WADING description in front of the name POOL............I
bet those plittle plastci fishes and turtles oyour 2000 gal; wading
pool looks great with the coral beauty etc............do yo have any
plastic sharks and do yo uplay with your GI Joe dolls in the 2000 gal
wading pool as well?
