Recommendation for Return Pump

[Frank@Wall]

i'm setting up a 120 gal 48x24x24 reef tank. Will be using a 40B tank as a sump. I want to use a submersible pump. I would also like to put my GFO and Carbon reactors in line with the return pump. what pumps are you guys using for a similar set up? Should I just use a seperate pump for GFO and carbon reactors?Any input is greatly appreciated.

I have same size tank and run an eheim 1262, and run a manifold for my tlf reactor, and calcium reactor

You have good flow to your DT? You dont have to be adjusting the flow to the reactor?

I use 2 MP40's in the display for flow. I use the ball valve on the discharge side of the TLF reactor to adjust the flow. never really have to re-adjust it.

I guess we have similar set ups. Got 2 mp40's as well.

I always change them, But usually anti sync, Nutrient Transport mode.
