My display tank is in the 1st floor and the sump is in the basement. Here is a picture to give you an idea:
I have a 1.5" line running from the pump to the display tank and 1" line for overflow line back to the sump. Now that I am in the midst of replacing the pump, I would like to know what else I can do at this time to plan for future.
1) The current pump is rated at 1400 gph and it is overpowered and some water is returned back to the sump as you can see in the picture. If I decide to go for a different pump that if it is overpowered that the current one, then what is the best way to throttle the power?
2) The current pump has an inlet of 1" and outlet of 1". If I settle in for a different pump (low wattage/more efficient) and if that pump has a higher inlet/outlet then how will it affect my current set up?
As always, your help is greatly appreciated.
