Pump question?

[RaSooch]

Hi all,

My wife was extremely kind enough to purchase me a new pump for my Birthday. Iwaki 40RLT 750 GPH.

My question; is this enough flow for a Oceanic Tech 120. I am not too sure because someone recomended the Iwaki 40RLXT 1200 GPH for this size tank.

The tank has been sitting in my basement and is still in it's planning stage for the past three months and any advice on getting it started is more than welcome.

Thanks

The RLT is probably pressure rated so that your head loss on the 750gph would be minimal.
Yes, this is enough flow for a return. Rule of thumb is that your main water flow should be using closed loops or powerheads.
