return pump for my new build

[120reefermadnes]

Im setting up a 57gal rimless with custom drilled herrbie overflows in the center and 2 drilled returns, one on each side so i dont have that huge overflow box that comes with it.

My sump will be an eshopps r300 sump/fuge

Im looking for the lowest energy consuming return pump

I was looking at the tunze and the new DC pumps, any suggestions?

Thanks guys!

I am loving my Diablo DC. Good luck with the new setup.

Ur using the diablo dc for your return?

How many watts and wat are the gph?

 

[Stylo328]

DC 10500, all specs are online. It is silent and pushes a ton of water in the 187.

I have an iwaki md100rlt pump for sale. Might be too strong tho

I used a Tunze 1073.020 on my 57 with dual returns for a year or so, was great and perfectly quiet. I only up-sized because of running various reactors off the main line but I would highly recommend them.

Wb3000 would also be a good choice.

Who makes this pump?

Not sure, they come with the reef octopus skimmers. I'm planning on using a 5000 for my return (have it, just not set up yet). They get good reviews for being quiet and efficient.

Coral vue, the makers of super reef octopus.

For that tank in the garage?

Anyone hear anything about the speedwave dc pumps, they look identical to the diablo and the sell them on aquariumspecialty

For that tank in the garage?

Yes, originally I had an eheim 1262, but realized it was too weak for my application, so sold it and got the water blaster.

I have a maxijet on my 57g. It's pretty quiet and efficient.
