What pumps did you finally decide to go with? Inquiring minds want to
know...................




Weeeeell.... I finally with with the Sequence 5800. I wanted so badly
to give those "Money Saver Pumps" a try. However the people there just
did not respond for more than a week and by then I had to get going on
things. As for the set up, AZPonds was out of the smaller unit (1/4 hp)
that I wanted so they gave me the larger one (1/3 hp) for the same
price as the smaller one. So, I now have this serious over kill on the
pump power that I need. Pond is about 7000 gallons (US), veggie filter
is 540 gallons, 3 stock tanks totaling 240 gallons, and the Oase IP-200
skimmer. The Tetra Vacuum Bottom Drain will do it's best to supply
enough water to the tandem 58's. I used 2" ABS right up to the intake
manifold as the intake on the pumps is only 1 1/2 in then switched to PVC.

I will post pics and let you know how it all turns out.
Thanks for asking!
