Reefer 250 Return Pump - VarioS-4 or 6

[MikeO5422]

Anyone running the varios 4 or 6 on the reefer 250? Just curious if the 4 needs to be at max speed and what speed ppl run 6 at on this tank.

Tagging along. I have a varios-6 and a reefer 250 to be delivered in the next day or 2, so I'm interested in what speed people might be running it. Once I get it set up, I'll follow up.

I am running the 6 on my reefer 250. Full build thread and YouTube links in my signature!

Thanks, Pelphrey...I know I caught a glance at one point of the setting in one of your videos, but could you take a peek at what speed it's set to? You have so many (helpful) videos, it could take a while to find that exact moment. And I searched your build thread and couldn't find if your setting was mentioned. Thanks!

The pump is on setting 4 of 5. Keep in mind, it is 1 1/4" out of the pump, I have that reduced to 1" straight out of the pump. From there it get reduced to 3/4" down to 1/2" for my reactor and algae scrubber. Also it is a 1/2" barb going into the tank. I do have valves on the scrubber and reactor, reactor is probably 3/4 of the way open & the scrubber is probably 1/4" open.
