Just wanted to get everyones opinion. I am currently shopping for a pump or 2 that will run the system and provide circulation for a 120g full reef.
I am trying to get as close to 3000-3600 gph as I can.
My question is; do you think I should go with external pumps or insump pumps that can be used externaly?
Has anyone used an insump pump externaly? and if so do you recommend it?
I am considering the panworld 50px-x external which is rated at 1110gph with 13ft max head and consumes 90 watts (roughly $140) x 2 = 2220gph
or the ocean runner 6500 insump (heard it compares to the eheim)which is rated at 1700gph with 12.5ft max head and consumes 95 watts (roughly $100) x 2 = 3400gph
I could do a combo of both or even purchase 1 or the other and add a tunze stream for extra circulation
The biggest issue is I am trying to go as economical as possible but still get something reliable and im trying not to use any powerheads (dont want to heat the water more than necessary)
Please provide your thoughts and ideas.
Thank you and God bless.:fish1: :fish2:
