Return pumps?

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Hey everyone I was wondering what woul be the best return pumps for a 60 gallon cube. I am looking for something that is really effective yet not extremely expensive. Thanks!! :)

Depends on what your idea of expensive is...but I like Eheims for a more traditional reliable pump,,,,and the new DC pumps for the controllability...
Also assuming in sump return...

Yes sump return, and I'm hoping to spend less than 150$

Look into I e of those jebao DC return pumps.. I think the DC12000 would work and you can turn it down that way if u upgrade your ready!

i use a quiet one 2200 for my 55 for over 8 years, they run about 70 bucks

Do you know a website where I can purchase a quiet one?

I have the jebao 6000 on my 60 cube. Great pump. Very powerful

I have a dc 12000 on my 150.... And run it only on level 2.... So I think t would be a bit much on a 60... But you could easily do a 6000 ....

Fluval sea SP2 would be a great pump. Askoll motor block and 3 year warranty

Is this the fluval sea sp2? And is that the right price? Thanks! :)

Yep there u go

Same motor as the red dragon and the Laguna pumps (Italian made Askoll). I'm running a Laguna 2400 on my 180g display. I love the pump, just a bummer that there's no stand. Pump is super strong, and is silent. I don't mean silent like a Reeflo (every Reeflo I've heard is loud and hums), I mean like literally U can't tell when it's on or off. On my new 250g build I bought a Fluval SP6. I haven't hooked turned it on yet, but I'm excited about it. If the Askoll is good enough for a bubble king, it's good enough for me. Lol

Here it is next to a Jebao DC12000
