Dual Return Pump Question

[yellow05gt]

I am figuring out which direction to go for my 440 gallon build. I currently have a single Vectra L1 as a return pump on my 180 gallon display. I will be using that in another manner for this new set up, so that one is out of the question. So now I am debating on which dual pumps to go with. Which options do you think would be best? Dual COR-20, Dual Vectra L2, or Dual Varios 8 on the 440 display and a 100 gallon, or so, sump. I know most readings say 5-10X the flow, so all options are within that range. I have a full Apex system as well, so the COR will be nice to control from there. Any suggestions/thoughts are much appreciated!

Thanks

Chris

Dual Abyzz A100s. But if you have the Apex and the Abyzz option is too pricey, I'd probably go with the COR 20's.

I was considering two a100’s as well but figured I could buy six COR 20’s for that price so I’ll just have an extra on hand for any failures.

I'm running two cor-20's on a 180 and they've worked well for the past two years. I run both at 50% and get 6x turnover or more. That being said the vectra's would be a solid choice as well.

I haven't cleaned my varios 4 in 3 yrs. Still silent and going strong. Not sure the fancy named ones are worth the hype, though I'm tempted to try one.
