I know alot of people state 10 x display volume but I just think that's overkill. Pretty much only need to pump what the skimmer can handle. Otherwise it's just going up and down not getting cleaned.

I'm still going to play with the left side tomorrow. Idk if I will ever be satisfied with it. Lol. It's close though. My ammonia is staying at 0 now. Nitrites are down. Just going to take a few water changes to get my trates down. My cheato comes in the mail today so that will start helping a bit.

I hear what your saying but think of it as another way to increase water movement without having to add another power head. Take advantage that you have two returns. I don't know if you remember me stating I have the same tank as you, just a little friendly advise :smile:

Right now I'm figuring I get 600 in return pump and 5800 In power heads. So 6400 gph in flow. Over 60 x my volume. That's with clean pumps at max flow. I'm definitely not saying your wrong but Idk if I need anything more. I am intrested in switching to a dc pump though so I will be upgrading to a jaebo dc return pump at some point.

Thank you and yes good old Wisconsin!!
Heads up I also thought about up grading to the Jebao DC return pump because there such a good deal but the LFS in Milwaukee who stocks them said he has seen so many problems with them he doesn't recommend them. On my local forum I've been hearing about them failing also so I would be very careful. The owner of the LFS also told me they wont warranty them anymore because the cheaper direct from China ones look the same they can't distinguish the difference and those are total point of sale just becareful all I'm saying.

This is the first time I've veered away from mag pumps. Mainly I wanted flow, no heat and less power consumption. Mags are tried and true but run warm, not silent and pwer hogs. Excellent flow and longevity however. So I'm hanging onto mine for back up just in case
