I am setting up a 40 Breeder mixed reef with a 20L sump. It seems like people are using a lot of different return pumps for this kind of tank. I think I still have my old Magdrive 350 from 20 years ago. It would probably still work but I’m thinking I need more flow and maybe the adjustability and controllability of a DC pump. I have the Eshopps M overflow and a 3/4” return.
I was thinking of one of the Jebao pumps on Amazon, not sure which would be best. Or maybe a Hydor Seltz 750 or 1000? Any other ideas? I don‘t want to spent a fortune on a Vectra or something like that. I see that some of these pumps only have a 6 to 8 foot head capability! My old Mag 3 can do 10.5 feet so I wonder if it even competes on actual flow with these higher GPH rated pumps.
