Welcome !!! Good to see another Reefer 250. I have one too. How do you like your eFlux pump?
I like it because it works with the current loop bundle that I bought I only run it at 40 to 45% when you use the controller it has a feed mode too where it cuts out the pump for 10 minutes. It barely fit in the sump chamber I had to take the protective cap off for it to fit but nothing big can flow into it anyways.

@Reaper603 is that loop bundle their bluetooth controller?
No I didnt get the bluetooth controller that's an additional option for the loop bundle comes with the return pump, two power heads, and two of the marine ic pro light bars and it comes with the digital display with an infrared remote.

Just replaced my lighting from the Current ic pros to the new Kessil AP9X!!! This new light is incredible way better color! Worth the money and looks so clean with only one center mount bracket.
