[ambage]

I am setting up a 120 gallon reef tank and need advice for my return pump.

So far I have a Glasscages 120 gallon reef ready tank with 38 gallon sump, a aquac ev120 skimmer, tek t5 lighting on order.

I currently have a 37 gallon fowlr:cat:

I am very new to this...

I use an Eheim 1262 on my 120g.

• adds little heat
• quiet
• not an energy hog

I run a Gen X 55 on my 120 ..33g sump

-adds about 2 degrees of heat
-quiet
-eats kilowatts

I'd get Deanos pump

So I ordered Deano's pump. Thanks for the input!!:biggrin:

what's a good return pump for a 30 gallon with a 20 gallon sump?

 

[Deanos]

A less powerful Eheim pump.

I love my Dart.Quiet,energy efficient,lots of flow.One pump runs everything.

Do you think the Eheim 1262 too much for a 58g with a 20g sump??
