I am planning to buy a red sea reefer 350 deluxe but I am not sure on what to use I was thinking the Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0 but Since the tank is already sooo expensive I thought of the Syncra Pro or Syncra 4.0 as retern pumps. Also What power heads should I use and how many. Try to pick pumps and power heads on the cheaper side

As far as return pumps go, take a look at the new AC pumps from Sicce... the ADV series. I prefer the reliability of AC pumps for returns. They are a decent bit more energy efficient than the Sicce Syncra series of pumps. The ADV 5.5 pushes 1500 gph and the ADV 7.0 pushes 1900 gph.

For inexpensive powerheads, look at the selection offered by ReefBreeders. Although they are Jebao / Coral Box pumps, at least Logan will give you top notch retailer support should you run into any issues.

Is it fine for the pump be way over the recommend gph because it recommends about an 800 gph pump but I think 1000 gph should be fine

I have a Reefer 350 and use a Syncra Silent 4.0, it works like a charm
