Abyzz A200 pump and Royal Exclusiv Red Dragon 3 230W side by side

[JoshH]

Hey guys- any updates would be awesome- I am trygin to decide between the red dragon 230 watt and the A200 Abyzz for my basement return to my 150 display a floor above the sump = 11 feet 1.5 inch flex PVC vertical lift to a Y splitter reducing to 1 inch on each side, then 90's on each back top corners to loc line splayers = about 14 feet head pressure.

What kind of flow are you looking to achieve again?? Somewhere in the 1500 GPH range?

yes -with either pump that should not be difficult according to their flow charts. I may end up installing a manafold for GFO, etc. as well. Any other suggestions ?

A little update on the pumps, Both A200 pumps and Red Dragon pump have been working great without issues. I have no cleaned them at all.
The abyzz would be my choice for basement setups. To me the warranty pushes it over the edge as being better.

Hello,

Abyzz 200 / RD 230W is there a difference in pump temperature? It will be under water so that it does not raise the water temperature too much.
Thank you
