what is some good return pumps to use for a 120 gallon tank? Best for the money. Nothing terribly expensive. Thanks
 
I use a dct12000, 6ft head, split return, use it on like half power..
 
If you're looking submersible/internal, I'd be looking at a DC pump. Money wise, check out Jebao/Jecod DCT pumps. Dependent on your overflow and other items you might wish to supply, something between the DCT6000 to DCT12000. The great thing about DC pumps, even it you go for the big boy, it's controllable....so you can simply turn it down. I prefer not running at or near 100% anyway.
 
I am using the Jebao DCT 15000 on my 120 and have it turned all the way down. I am running the 120 with 40 gallon sump and a 65 gallon frag tank all plumbed into the one system on the one pump.
 
Check out Eheims, Sicce's or Tunze pumps for proven reliable long term service.

How do you like it? I need to buy a 12000 one but I think I want a 15000 for my 220 reef tank.
