Looking into good pumps...

[Izzydawg]

I am getting ready to start pricing out the filtration system for my big project.
Anyone know of a good place to get a large pump of reputable quality?
I'm looking for something big enough to handle such a large tank, and won't break down right away:icon_woot:

Ron might know as he bought a big pump for his system.

if i remember correct .. your around 5000 gallons right? you might wana look into pool equipment !!

[Izzydawg]

That's what I was wondering, if I'd have to go to a pond shop, or a pool shop?
I wanted it to be as close to 5000 gallons as possible, it might be a bit under as I'm trying to find the right shape to work out with the floorplans.

For plumbing and pumping that much water I'd consult with Van Isle.

Sorry. I'm not familiar with any pool/pond supply businesses in the Shuswap Lake area to recommend.

[Izzydawg]

lol strange i cant believe i rememberd that place.. :S well im threw a couple times a year a good friend of mine bought a place in canoe.. although his aquarium consists of a 5 gal bowl with a tiny powerhead/filter and 3 guppies and a snail... maybe my next trip threw (mid summer ish) i can check out the start of this huge tank? i only wish i owned my own place id make a indoor/outdoor pool that was planted and had fish you could swim with..

[Izzydawg]

Right on, that'd be fun;)
We probably won't be getting started on it till July...gotta finish the shop first:smash:
