    mag drive ques.

    I have been trying to find a head pressure chart for a magdrive 2400. I have been unsuccessful!
    Even at the manufacturers site I cant find it.
    any help would be great. I am wondering if I could
    run it to two 3/4" sea swirls at about 7' each without throttling back the output with a valve
    .The sea swirls will handle 850gph each. I know
    the mag 18 drops to about 1000gph at that distance. I would like to utilize the full 850gph each ,or as close as I can without restricting flow with valves.TIA

    The 24 is a real energy hog........

    I might look at the dolphin am pumps, but not necessarily the 3000

    I got the ampmaster 3000 today! I figured my hdft
    wrong it is about 11' so that is about 1800gph.
    sea swirls @ 850 each 1700gph and then I think I will throw in a wye or tee and plumb a couple ft
    over to my refugium and that should be right about
    1700gph and I do have valves below my sea swirls so I can turn them down if necessary.should work out perfect thanks for the help
    I got the ampmaster at my LFS and I went to pay and they told me $350.00 I told them that that seemed high I thought they were around 250.00
    He said no thats what they are. I told him if I got home and found them 100.00 dollars cheaper elsewhere I wouldnt be very happy.They ended up selling me it for 260.00 which I thought was fair.
