What's up guys I'm switching from dirt to squirt and I'm wondering if the Beckett 1200 gph pond/waterfall pump is to big for my setup. 4 6' square fence post with around 25 to 30 360 misters . With about 2 feet of head on pump. Thanks .kindda need quick reply as I'm going back to store today cause I fudged up on PVC pipe sizing a little. Going to be using half inclh lines.

You should be fine.. I'm running 50 feeder stakes divided up between 25 plants. My pump is around 3600 gph and delivers about 1 liter/plant/minute of run time. I used to run a 1200gph pump but found it didn't purge air from the full system fast enough to ensure that all plants got adequate feed. I suggest you buy yourself a "vacuum break" from the hardware store to prevent siphoning of your nute tank. Good luck with your waterworks :)
