hammerhead gold pump setup?

[glarior]

Updated: I drilled a 2" bulk head into the sump which goes to the pump. So far the pump is at 3/4 flow because the returns on the tanks can't handle it. I might switch to the hammerhead impeller.... not sure yet.

Expect a big loss in flow if your going to run check valves.

i would like an update on the hammerhead, pleaseI too would like to get back to that flow with a hammerhead. may get one soon. Cant touch this.

Here is one pic. If you would like to see more let me know.

Only thing I forgot was a Union fitting between the outtake and shut off valve.

Next to the pump is the one of four sicce syncra 5 I use to power the tank with. However, the HH puts out way more than those did... so much more I had to cut back the flow

so you followed that 10d rule, is that what you did with the pvc, and how does the sump look when 6000 gph is flowing through it? inspiring minds want to know
may want to use hammerhead on next build.

I used a hammerhead with a siphon and a 6ft sump, and reached the 3 times plumbing up over the back wall of a 210 and into the tank. no powerheads necessary.
thanks corydrysdale worked pretty good. I wasnt to sure how to drill it the right way, AND HOW much room to leave in the return chamber

I think I did follow the 10D rule by accident. I did what worked best with out having to buy new hose or run new PVC for the tanks. I will get pics and if possible low quality video tonight of the sump. The sump pushes some serious water and keeps my K1 kaldness turning then again its 5ftx2ftx2ft. The best part is I can run a lower sump level now!

So, I forgot the pics... try again tonight :-)
