A lot depends on your pipe arrangement, use of hose barbs vs. hard pipe etc. I use an Iwaki 70 with inline chiller using four 3/4" nozzles in a 90. This setup has enough power to make a blender out of my tank and wouldn't hesitate to apply it to a 120.

On a gph/watt basis, it's hard to argue against a high flow Sequence Dart on a closed loop.

I don't understand the suggestion to use a pressure rated pump like the Iwaki unless you're planning on running eductors. IMO, you want a tank that maximzes flow at low head pressure, not a pump that's capable of delivery good flow at high head pressure.

yeah im trying to stay away from pressure pumps because they seem to use so much more power

Ampmaster 3000, with 2 intakes and all 1.5" piping

I agree 100%.

On my 120 I am using the sequence barrcuda and on my 75 frag tank I am using the dart. I really like both and would reccomend reeflo pumps.

I really like my hammerhead. I too would recommend a reeflo. Their customer service is very good too.
