External Pump Recommendation

[montepora]

Hi,

I am setting up a new tank (240g) and the sump will be in the basement. I have 8' ceiling. The tank stand is 40" tall and the tank heigh is 24".

I am thinking of using the hammerhead for return and would like to tee it off to feed a skimmer (ETSS 1000) that requires at least 1500gph and a chiller that requires at least 750gph. I have heard that hammerhead is not pressure rated and I will mostly likely not be able to do this. Can you recommend a Sequence pump that will do the job??

Thank you.

So there are two types of Hammerheads??

Can you split the load and go with separate pump to feed your skimmer and a chiller. Since the sump( and I'm assuming those two pieces of equipment as well) will be in the basement, you could use none pressure rated pump for those. I'm thinking this way becouse it helps to have some of the equipment on a separate pumps( in case one fails you don't loose use of all equipment).
Just a thought.

Plus, I find it to be a little easier to fine tune your skimmer when it has its own pump.
