I ended up purchasing the Syncra Silent 2.0 Pump (568 GPH) - Sicce . Thoughts ??For a RSR 170 (about 45 gallon system?), you will want to turn the tank over through the sump about 5x per hour, give or take. So about 2-300 gph for the return pump after total dynamic head losses. Tunze makes arguably the best stuff, but that seems a little weak. I would probably go with an Eheim 1200, or a 1270 and valve it down. Lots and lots of options for return pumps, and there are choices for: AC or DC, internal or external, price, etc. 100 bucks is pretty tough, but the Eheim 1200 is close. There are cheap China pumps that people seem to like.
I haven't used those, but people seem to like them. The size should be about right, and you can valve it down if it's too much flow.I ended up purchasing the Syncra Silent 2.0 Pump (568 GPH) - Sicce . Thoughts ??
I'm running the same return pump, and got the reef octopus 110 int as a insump skimmer.Only had to change the impeller once in over 4 yrs.I ended up purchasing the Syncra Silent 2.0 Pump (568 GPH) - Sicce .
