Bob,
I'll let one of our equipment gurus talk more specifics with you about your pump/filter setup, but you are right that in the case of pumps, bigger is not better and can be very dangerous.

Once you get your kit, (good decision to buy it, by the way), please post a full set of numbers for someone here to take a look at and maybe we can help you determine the reason for your occasional cloudiness.

Thank you for subscribing and thank you for your kind words. We take great pride in doing a good job on our forum and we are very glad to have you as a new member. Hope you enjoy participating with us.
