dude you may as well hook up a scwd to both pumps.....give you the wave effect and get rid of other junk that you dont need. Im coming to see that as well. Thats amazing. I would deffinatly go with a pool pump....due to energy costs....pool pumps cost more initailly....but in the long run will save you money and they can handle up to around 70 feet in head pressure. of course thats lateral.....so probably 35-40 vertical head. you could get two scwd's and run four out puts to get some insanely random currents in your tank. Thats a dream set up boss! But what about power outages? are you going to put in a nice LARGE generator for the whole house?

i do have a genpak for the house already..............
i'm thinking about getting a water feature pond {the black PVC liners you just burry} and use it for a sump. a couple Jacuzzi filters, there was a post a while back about useing a pool/hottub sand type filters {fluidized sand filter on steroids,lol} then i couls set up ares for rock, fuge, gravity the water through media into the pool , auto top off from a raised 50 gallon poly tank - - - -oh the dreams go on and on ...........lol
as far as a Squid goes, i could just alternate pumps and get the same effect.......although start/stop surges would play hell on the electric bill and the pumps..............
I'm on the drawing board now trying to figure out all the bypasses i want, check valves, i have an e-mail t my old boss out in Kansas inquireing about solinoid check valves ............power lose and the whole system just halts, power comes back on and everything continues, no loseing prime, air issues etc - - still in the design phase
thank-you everyone for ideas and thoughts, keep em comin
