Hey guys. I'm debating on purchasing a DC pump for my return. (Provided I can sell my NIB Panworld) I was wondering if you guys knew of any "smaller" pumps that I can use with the Apex. I have been looking, and the few pumps I did find that specifically stated Apex compatible were pushing over 1000gph. It's a little much for my tank, but I also know I can ramp it down via the controller. Just seeing if there was something a little smaller/economical for me to buy. Thanks for any input

dc pumps are nice but IMO i would look at the danner mag 12 .. small compact n puts out 1200GPH ..
 
Thanks for the advice. I have worked with mags for a long time. They are definitely reliable pumps, but run kind of hot. Plus I already have a pump for the return, I was just toying with the idea of a controllable DC pump to pair with my Apex.
