Pump for my 220

[Strangelove]

I puchased a used 220 gal for $375 this summer . I've already got a PM Bullet-2 skimmer. I plan to put on a Lifereef double overflow @ 1700 gal/hr into a 55 gal sump/refugium. There will be about a 3' head.

My question is, will an Ampmaster 3000 power the skimmer and the return? The bullet requires at least a Sen 900 by all accounts.

Thanks,

Gene

Gene,
It should work ok if you use gate valves. How about getting the tank drilled?

I'd LOVE to have it drilled. The thing weighs 600 lbs, however. Even if I could muster the team (twice) to move it the local glass company refuses to guarantee that they won't crack the glass. If they goof up I'd probably have to wait a long time for another good deal like that.
