I would like to get a clear water 50 algae scrubber, but don’t know what pump to get. I don’t want to spend $300 on a pump when I know I can get the flow rate it needs for much cheaper. Input would be appreciated
 
I have the CW 200 and purchased the MightyJet Midsize DC pump to run it. The pump was like 130$ and I have turned down to about half speed. I would think the cheapest DC pump you can find would work. It’s nice to just be able to dial it up or down depending on your plumping.

That doesn’t feel like I high price for a pump, but what is recommended on brs is more than double the price.
Thanks for the input! It helps a lot
