What Return Pump Do You Use

[Mr. Fish]

I'm curious what you guys with big tanks use for your return pumps. I'm setting up a 220 gallon and trying to find one.

I use the reeflo dart/snapper hybrid (blue colored model)--not the old black crappy A.O. Smith motor one.
I was going to get the dart gold but i called reeflo and they said that hybrid i have is identical and no need to go gold.

+1 It's the same pump 5 year warr. in lieu of three year i believe. I am using a Dart pump with Baldor motor top of the line electric motor company. Water Blaster pumps are nice also along with several other depends on how your settN up
On my close loop part i am going with Waveline DC 10000 6 speed controlled pumps @ 2640gph. I will be using (4) of them feeding 8 - 1" inlets @ 2 apiece per pump.

Great ReefN,

I use a Blueline 40 xd. I have heard great things about this pump and I have not had a problem with it.

reeflo hammerheads (baldor motors), reeflo marlin, and reeflo blowhole. you wont find a better company for pumps when you factor in their customer service!!

I will be using 2 Waveline DC 10000s on my setup.

Reeflo Hammerhead. It's a great pump with low power consumption.

 

[Mr. Fish]

I've heard the Reeflo pumps have issues with the seals, anyone have an issue with them?

Ive heard so many stories here on RC, its unbelievable. Weird thing is, its never happened to me or anyone I know personally. So I guess its just bad luck!

Hey Wayne, do you know what size the inlet/outlet's are on those?
