What is 145 sp. Submersible pumps are rated GPH (gallon per hour) so if yours is 145 GPH that is plenty.
The water should rise to what ever height you made the over flow pipe. Raise the pipe if you want the water to rise higher. Don't forget to drill a hole at the top of the over flow pipe or it will do strange things like not filling all of the cups up. |
