[Ponds-Koi] pump question
Test out your pump with the 1″ pvc. Personally I’d put the pump beside the sump rather than in it…..if you can. Pumps generally push much better than pull so it may work best from the sump area to the top of the tank.
I have three systems which sound somewhat similar to what you are doing. One is a 240 gallon with twin/connected trickle towers and two pumps plumbed into them with the water equalized by a 1″ connecting pipe between the towers. The flow and the sump level are equalized. I use a skimmer for each tower and a spray bar for each pump. The pumps are located outside each tower.
