As the title says, I have a 300 gallon tank with a lot of fish and soft/lps corals. Doing the bare minimum flow rate, I need 6,000gph, I’m under that number and I have 4 pumps. Im looking for a higher gph rate to replace 3 of the 1,000gph pumps that I have.

I don’t really need speed/wave control, just a simple Powerhead with strong power.

EDIT: I need a circulation pump.

Check the selling forums for used Tunze 6105 pumps. They are terrific and would work well for your tank. I have 2 in my 300.

I like the current loop pumps.

Great control and affordable, also made in the US, great responsive customer service.

3, 2100 pumps would come to $354

I also use the return pump plus my 2 2100’s. Added a bluetooth controller for my 40b. Bought all when on sale so want to say on pumps i only spent $300 all together and all controllable via my phone.

I just bought 2 Jebao OW 50! They fit the bill perfectly! I can’t wait to receive them! Thank you very much
