What does everyone use? what do you recommend? Was going to do the Jebao DC 12000 but wanted to see what everyone would recommend and why


Thanks

My last two 180's and my present 150g run an eheim 1262, love eheims, quiet and extremely dependable.

Thx dav. Do you have a manifold off of the return to power reactors? Is that pump big enough to do so ?

I have it T'd off to 2 locklines.
I've never done a manifold, so I'm not much help there, but I do subscribe to the 3-5x turnover for return pump deal, and of course the rest of the flow through PH's or loop.
If you are planning on a manifold to cover the majority of flow you may be reaching for something much bigger.
