Hey, all
I know about the "head" rating on pumps (most will easily do the 4' or so up to a tank from a sump). The question is...does horizontal plumbing affect this? I'm going to be setting up my tank and I have the opportunity to run the sump/equipment in a different room (part of the undeveloped basement) that would be around 8-10' away horizontally. Will this cause problems? Can I just get away with using a bigger pump? Is it even worth it?
Thanks!
