I've got a barracuda on my 220. It's pumping at something like a 12 foot head and I have the output valve at around 50%. Still enough water to push my dual 1.5" overflow box and DIY 1" overflow. Had some trouble with the first barracuda I received. I contacted reeflo and they sent me a new one in a week and gave me a month to return the other. Great pump, even better service.

Well, I got a bunch more plumbing done today. I had to go to the hardware store and get a few more things to finish. I plan on having all of the plumbing finished up tomorrow or Tuesday. After all this plumbing is done, I will be setting up a couple more 55G acrylics on the other side of the room.

Well, got all of the plumbing finally finished. Then I fired up the pump. Two problems, one big, one small.
1. Have a small leak in one of the pipes. (Easily fixable)
2. Don't have flow to the center tanks. (Pain to fix)

I am going to have to resort to cutting all of the lines and installing valvesto restrict and adjust the flow from tank to tank. I was hoping I would have to do this, but I guess that that's how it goes.
