Ok Guys: ANother thought because I thought about a sump in the basement
because of cooling and size, but what kind of pump will pump a 14-15 ft
head? or how would you arrrange it, so that it would work.

Certainly very expensive one ;-)

Check out Iwaki - there is some with two versions: normal and high head.
Here, at DrFosterSmith.com they offer "Little Giant" pump with max head
44':

put your sump on a high shelf so it's closer to the ceiling, which will
reduce your head requirements.

Personaly I would not waist my time setting up a sump for a 30 gallon
tank. Wait and get a bigger tank with a built in overflow.


Wayne - he just wrote he is upgrading to 58 gallons, reef ready.
