Currently running a vectra L1 and a jebao 20k . Personally seems like the jebao puts out more flow.

Im looking for a external pump that can do 6000+ GPH .

What do you guys recommend, what has worked well for you?
 
Contemplated redoing my whole system with a new sump and doing a 15,000gph dolphin external return pump with a big manifold to run what ever i need . Then i would have more room for a larger tank upgrade in the future possibly . Id rather stick to a lg internal pump if possible though
 
When I had my 300DD I used two pumps versus one. Figured if one went bad, the other could carry the tank until I replaced the other. It made it nice at night because shutting one down made for a very quiet tank. I have never had a dolphin pump, but when you google it leaking seals come to mind. Sounds like great great pumps, just need to maintain the seals
