Hey there ppl I was thinking on ordering my pump this week. I was researching them, I kind of like this one think I will buy two incase of a problem down the road I can just switch it out and get one fixed. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idproduct~DP4030~idCartRow~11854108~isKit~0.html
is this over kill for my 265 with a 120 gal sump/refug I also want to try to run all my equipment off this one pump with a Manifold type setup to try to cut down on a million pumps and electrical costs ,is this possible or am I pipe dreaming? thanks in advance, Bobb

that makes sense I was just trying to be cheap and run one for less electrical consumption. now would I use the same size pump for both or a smaller one for the other components. I just don't want to buy a pump find out its wrong and then buy another I want to do this once and done. I guess what im saying is HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! Bobb

I love the manifold on my setup...I use the Reeflo Dart as my return, feeding the main tank, Phosban reactors and fuge. I use a separate pump (Iwaki70) to run my Skimmer.
