What size tank is it? A high head pressure pump is probably needed like a reeflo.
Its standard 75. And will be pulling from a 40b sump

Im looking for about 1000gph its not 10 feet exactly its more like 7'6" of vertical and im trying to only use 3 90s in the system so i figured 10ft of head pressure is a decent estimate

Luckily im blessed with the basement being concrete floor and my sump is 3 feet away from the basement sump pump in case something goes south. But. Ive been on the fence about soft or hard plumbing because im going through a wall to avoid drilling in the floor.

Hey thanks ive been so excited to get this done and going I was going to attempt a sw aquarium back in 2012 but I ended getting into a different hobby and now it seems that we have made some big break throughs since then

Added info!
Well I figure its time to get started on my build thread ( No pictures currently my camera is busted!)
I have had one tank prior to this which was a freshwater with our local fish bluegill,crappie large mouth/small mouth bass ect ect it went well the entire time granted I used everything from where I caught them.
My plans are a mixed reef sps heavy reef.
I currently have a 75g display tank from marineland and I will be using a 40b with a DIY kit as a sump. The stand doesnt support a sump so the sump will be in the basement.
This will be an adventure and I hope you all will be able to enjoy the trials and tribulations.
Current inventory
75g marineland aquarium with stand
(I have already drilled this aquarium with 3 drains and 2 return 2x1" 1x3/4" drains and 2x3/4" returns)
