So I'm currently using an EcoTech Vectra L2 on my 225g, I have it plumbed to run into a closet behind the tank where I have various media reactors before it goes into the tank, I figured 3000GPH would be enough to run at least 2 reactors and still have decent flow, but it appears that I can only run one GFO reactor from that return line before seriously affecting the flow into the tank. So I'm looking to replace my Vectra with something a bit stronger (4k-5k GPH), but it appears I'm at the maximum capacity for submersible pumps made for reefing, if I want a higher flow rate then I'll have to either switch to an external pump, or research pond pumps to find one that can handle salt water.
So my question is do you guys have any recommendations on submersible pumps that can do 4K+ GPH?
I'm willing to drill my sump and go with an external if I have to, but I'd rather exhaust all my options for a submersible before I go thru all the trouble of draining and drilling my sump, rerouting plumbing, etc.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
