I have two Blue line 40 HD X pumps for sale. New they are $170 http://www.aquacave.com/blueline-40-hd-x-externalbr-aquarium-water-pump-534.html

Ill sell them for $100 each + shipping. Shipping would be usps 2 to 3 day and should be about $10 to just about anywhere.

I used these on our closed loop but i ripped that out this weekend because i could never get rid of micro bubbles. The pumps work like new, look like new. Ive had the pumps for about 2 years but total run time on them i would say is less the 10 weeks.

These pumps are designed and built by a former chief engineer from Iwaki-Japan.
They feature the same flow curves, high head pressure, low noise, and reliability that have made Iwaki the best magnetic drive pumps available.
The BlueLine HD pumps are even slightly quieter than Iwaki, with a lower frequency.
These units are yellow rather than green and carry a full 2 Year parts and labor guarantee.
All seal-free bearings and magnetic drive for 10+ years of useable life. No seals to leak!

Here ya go…

Thanks Ken, If im reading the chart right it 20gpm or 1200gph at 3’ head

6

wow… loses less than 6% @ 3’ head pressure?? impressive, although tough to believe…

7

drops to 18 gpm… or 1080 gph paulie… still not too shabby!

8

yeah, i’m thinking that i’d need about a 75 gal tank. can that much flow also act as a powerhead? i think it’d really move lotsa h2o. 1080 in a 75 equals 14 times trnover ratio. in a 65 it’s 16 times an hr.

All you need is the over flow return flow rate capacity the same or preferably, larger than the pump supply. and you’re good to go with the pump.

Or, No flow rate problem atol, if you intend to use it for a closed loop Recirculation pump.

Because:

Goes-inta’s = Goes-outa’s!

Thats just straight head pressure. Any extra elbow or fitting will add a little more frictional loss. You can always put an elbow on the outlet and cut it back some, or even T it off and use it to also supply any reactors/skimmers ect…

md40x=hot pink line…
@ 1’=20gpm
@ 2’=19gpm
@3’=18gpm

@4’=17gpm
@5’=16gpm
@6’=15gpm…
he asked about 3’ head pressure right???

13

there isnt a pump on the whole chart pumping 18gpm @ 4’

14

your right. the 2 looked like a three to me and the graph was tricking my eyes BoNg

15

i did the same thing at first… lol

16

For what it is worth these pumps are awesome. We use them on lots of our clients tanks especially with closed loops. Just as Chris said they are exactly like the Iwaki pumps which were once the talk of the hobby. Pretty sure I will be purchasing one myself soon for a closed loop, but unfortunately I have to replace bulbs and RO parts first, so I won’t have the cash for months otherwise I might be picking this one up.

fishguy FYI Champion Lighting Supply is the wholesaler for these items.

17

would this be to much power for my 75?

18

That would be roughly 13x to 14x turnover per hour not counting any sump volume. But like i said you can add a ball valve and or T to cut or split the flow to run reactors/skimmers ect…

19

A bump for my pump PBJ!

These pumps have to go!! I’ll drop the price to $90 each but thats it. These pumps are in like new condition and @ $90 thats half price of a new one.

If you want more pics to see how good of shape these pumps are in just ask.
