Return Pump Recommendations

[Jose102173]

Could only have a footprint 3.5"x5.5". DT is a 30 gallon cube with 700 gph glass-holes overflow. Sump is a Eshopps nano cube refugium. Any recommendation on a return pump? How GPH should I be looking for?

Thanks,
Jose

You will need anywhere from 10 to 15 time your tank gallon size for turn over rate. The rest will be powerheads inside your tank for whatever you like to keep.

IMO you would be better off with a slower flow. Closer to 3x to 5x times tank volume.
Sicce Syncra Silent 1 or a 1.5 might work

Also plumbing in a manifold for 2 mini reactors.

Here is a link to sicce pumps that has all the models with the specs on each one.
