return Pump 4' tank

[bad inferno]

HI, I currently use the silence 1073.050 (24VDC) unit on my 4' tank. The current flow I get is 1200 l/hr into the tank which is OK as I ahve a small sump although on the minimum side. I think my return pipe size may of been a little too small I used Eheim 19/22mm hose

The return pump has been doing a good job for the last year however I really want to take out my 1073.008 (240VAC) and tap off the main return pump to power my rowaphos and carbon reactors as well.

Questions if I may :
1. Was wondering if Tunze had/planning a more powerful 1073.050 unit using 24VDC.
2. Is there a 24VDC alternative to power the reactors 100-800l/hr if there is no plans for a more powerful 1073.050

Thanks

We don't have any immediate plan to do so, it may be something we do someday but at least for the next 2 years it is not on the horizon.

As far as a 24V alternative, besides a tee off the 1073.050 or a second 1073.050 I cannot think of any. You could likely find a low cost 12-24V AC non controllable pump however. These are fairly common, in the US they are used inside every pet water fountain on the market and most little decorative water fountains.
