sump powerhead question

[txaggies07]

I just bought a 72g bowfront from a guy. I was setting it up today and found that the sump powerhead is dead. What powerhead should I get? The rise is from the floor to the top of the tank - 4.5ish ft.

I'd get a pump instead of a powerhead for a return. With the head loss you'll be better off. I'd recommend an Eheim because I love mine. There are other ones though, some more and some less.

what size?

[Reefscape]

well...what size sump and what size pipe work do you have on the system?

[txaggies07]

I don't know what the old pump is. The tubing is 3/4"

The input is to the sump is 1"
The output is 3/4"
