Hey yall!
I just bought a Danner MagDrive 12 (1200 GPH) water pump for my undercurrent rdwc setup. Do you think 1200 GPH is going to be too much for a 5-gal bucket 10 site? Im going to use 2'' PVC for good flow, and run the pump inline.
If I did my math right ; 10 + 1 controller bucket= 11x5gal = 55 gal 1200GPH/55= 21 circulations per hour or .35 per minute.
I'm going to run this system under six 600's, and I think Im going to have somewhere around 280 LPM of additional DO via some high output air pumps Ive got lying around.
Im also wondering if a 5gal control bucket will be OK for this 10 site system, or if I will need to get a bigger reservoir for the controller.
What do you gentlemen think?
