So I am trying to get my mixing station up and going but I want to make sure my pump will work before I get it all plumbed. My tank is on the main floor and I want to put the mixing station in the basement near my water heater. Ideally I would like plumb my mixing station to my tank for easy water changes so in order to do that starting at the pump I will need to go up 7.5ft then over 15ft turn and go over another 13ft then finally up 4 more feet and into the sump of my tank. So only about 11.5ft up but how much will the horizontal runs effect it? I have an iwaki WMD-40rlxt that is rated at 1344gph and a max head height of 15.4ft that I would like to use. Would that pump be enough? If not I have a reeflo barracuda but I would prefer to not have to use such a big pump for my mixing station.

If anyone is good with plumbing and wants to stop by to take a look or help me out that would be awesome.
