Visit our Lifetime Aquariums® Information Page to learn more about our exciting built to order aquarium system! All our standard and special aquarium sizes now have optimized engineering to determine the minimum thickness required for each individual panel of glass. What this means is instead of a one size fits all formula; we optimize every individual panel in the aquarium based on engineering standards.

Our professional engineers used advanced pressure rating formulas to optimize every individual aquarium to have a minimum safety factor of 2.3 (standard in the industry as a minimum, ours are even stronger because of the aluminum frame system). Some of the below are as great as 3.5. Using this technique we are able to achieve the highest strength at the lowest cost – so don’t be surprised if our prices and weights are a lot better than other aquariums out there of the same size.

It has two fish cookers on the backSo you’re building a system. You’re ordering materials, and all that’s left for you to do is to order a pump. You open the web browser, go to the pumps listed on the online shop and there are: Which kind and which size should you get? Pump sizing varies based on whether you’re using hydroponics or aquaponics, your overall system size, and the type of hydroponic or aquaponic system you’re running (the types covered in this post are DWC, NFT, media bed, Bato bucket, and ZipGrow Towers). The two main categories of pumps that you will be choosing from are inline and submersible pumps. Submersible pumps are cooled by the water and sized in GPH. These sit directly in the water of a tank or gutter and pump water through a fitting (and hose that you attach) from the top of the pump. Submersible pumps are limited in power and are only suitable for systems with a total GPH need of 1200 or less. This fits most hobby systems, display systems, and very small commercial systems.

Inline pumps are air-cooled, sit outside of your tank, and are typically suited best for larger (50 or 100+ tower) operations. Inline pumps typically have more power, which is measured not in the volume of water that they can move like submersible pumps, but in horsepower, HP. The term “sump pump” refers to a pump that moves water from one sump tank to another or is used for turbulence and mixing nutrients inside one sump tank. These help with consistency and can help with oxygenation. We use submersible pumps for this. An air pump may be used to pump low volumes of air at a high pressure, usually for aerating water. Aeration is important to supplying oxygen to root zones and avoiding anaerobic decomposition. Seedling carts with fertilizer solutions may benefit from an air pump, for example. Peristaltic pumps are small pumps that are most often used in auto-dosing. Most auto-dosing systems come with the pumps. You can buy both main pump types on our online shop.

Finding the right size of pump isn’t half as complicated as it might seem! We’ve put together easy formulas to use – one for hydroponic growers, and one for aquaponic growers. In order to determine the best pump for your system, you’ll need to do three things: If you start feeling overwhelmed at any point during this post, just pick up a phone and call one of our super-friendly team members at our office (307-288-1188) or ask a question in the chat box on the right side of the screen! Let’s go through the 3 steps to sizing a pump; we’ll use a ZipGrow Tower system as an example. Pumps will almost always have a gallons per hour (GPH) rating that tells you how many gallons of water that pump will move every single hour. Obviously, places that favor the metric system will use liters per hour. (You can use the same equations, just remember that if you change one unit you have to change all of them.) Your total GPH is the flow rate times the units with that flow rate.

In hydroponics with ZipGrow Towers, you want to run two gallons of water through each tower every hour. This means that the number of gallons per hour is essentially the number of towers, times 2. So you end up with a gallons per hour (GPH) for hydroponics equation like this: (where t=towers) *Tip: You’ll also have a bit of extra water in your sump- a good rule is to add fifty gallons for the sump. Example (DWC): DWC hydroponic system with two 500 gallon tanks. Example (Media bed): 400 gallon media bed system with a 2/hr turnover and a 60 gallon fish tank. Now imagine that our example is ZipGrow Towers in aquaponics. In aquaponics, you’ll want to run between seven and ten gallons of water through each tower every hour. Since you’ve got the fish tanks as well, you also need to factor in the fish tank gallons. You’ll also be turning over the fish water twice every hour, so the gallons per hour for aquaponics equation looks like this: (where t=towers) Because almost all aquaponic or hydroponic growers need to move water upwards, you’ll need to also understand how efficient your pump is at different heights.

Whether you’re still using a traditional horizontal grow bed model or NFT or ZipGrow Towers, you’ll still need to move water vertically from your fish tank to your beds, troughs, or Towers. To compensate for the height, we use a measurement called head height. Head height is the distance between the top of your grow bed (or ZipGrow Tower) and the top of the water in your tank. You won’t need a calculation for this. Just measure the length between the water line in your sump and the exit point of your irrigation (in a ZipGrow system, the exit point is the drip lines above your Towers). For example: If you have an in-ground sump and the water line is one foot below ground level, and you’re irrigating your Towers 5.5 feet above ground, your head height is 6.5 feet. All pumps will come with a chart similar to this one: This chart is going to be your cheat sheet for pumps. This one specifically matches the strength of Active Aqua pumps, and other pump brands will come with their own chart.

(Make sure you’re using the right chart for your type of pump! Inline pumps and submersible pumps function differently.) Using the GPH you calculated and your head height, find the pump that matches your needs. Pump efficiency at different head heights is almost never a linear relationship (again, check out the example on our pumps). Inline pumps will also have GPH or GPM listed and come with a curve that shows the GPH and head height intersections. This means that the sizing an inline pump requires the same steps as sizing a submersible pump. One note is that if you’re running a large operation, then you’ll probably want to order a pump with extra power so that you don’t have to buy a new one when you scale up. If you’re having trouble sizing a pump for a large operation, please get in touch with our farm guides. They can help you outfit your system, figure out plumbing, and much more. When choosing a pump, remember that our recommendation of turning over your entire system volume at least twice per hour is a recommendation.

If you shoot a little long, or fall a little short of this recommendation, everything will probably be just fine. Just remember that every aquaponics or hydroponics system out there varies considerably. Whether it’s the plumbing, system design, grow media, etc., every system is different and required GPH can vary because of it. If you are growing aquaponically, you must be exchanging your water fast enough to maintain a good level of dissolved oxygen in your system. This is crucial to healthy fish! When researching GPH and various head heights for your own application, remember that you’ll be moving water through what could be quite a long length of hose. That said, the further your system volume travels, the lower your pump’s efficiency will be, and that could mean a decreased GPH or overall system performance. While it’s possible to do the efficiency calculations here, it’s much more simple just to eyeball it and calculate anywhere from a 15% to 30% loss of efficiency (this of course depends on your plumbing and system design).
