Last update for tonight,
I decided to replace my Ecotech Vectra M1 with a Red Dragon DC 100W.
I think this may be a bit more reliable in the long run.
I was getting around 275 GPH with my Vectra at 80% (using about 75watts)
With the RD I am getting around 325 GPH at 70% (same wattage)
The Elos has a very small restrictive return and causes much head pressure. Pump also provides flow to ARID and small reactors.
I may one day tweak the plumbing to eliminate points which could allow me to run pump a bit lower but for now it is doing the job.
I am happy with 300-350 GPH turnover through sump.
The RD controller is much larger, so I still have to clean up the power cable connected to it.
You can see ARID still doing its thing.
