Hi Guys...

Need some advise regarding my setup.... I have a 4feet tank & my sump is 3feet.

What is the pump output ?litre/hr I need...

Any commendation for the pump??? Thanks in advance

my tank is 4ft and sump 4 ft as well, using eheim 1262 for the return, it's good....i think by itself can provide just enough circulation of the main tank if u direct it at a suitable return position... :P

It depends on the rate of water turnover you hope to achieve.

(total water volume divided by pump output). You'll have to take into account of head pressure loss.

A general rule of thumb is to achieve about 8-10 times the water turnover.

Keep in mind your objectives and make the right purchase decision.

Have you read Bawater's article?
