Need External return pump

[Reefrookie733]

Anyone know any good deals on a external return pump??? Im switching out my Reeflo Superdart gold for a newer more reliable pump. I have a 200G tank with 8 feet of head pressure.

i have been looking at the Varios 8's but either that or an Ecotech L2 (at a good price) would work too!

Thanks!!!

Not to change the topic of the thread, but what didn’t you like about the reeflo? I was just about to order one

Someone gave me this one its probably 8-10 years old. Im just getting a new one and doing my build but i would like to add a new pump to the setup. They are good pumps from what ive read but you cannot control it whatso ever. I would like to hook mine up to my apex

Now that they fixed the issue with the L1's by coming out with the L2, you will be amazed at how quiet they are compared to the Reeflo's.

Vectra cannot be controlled by apex. Plus it will struggle against 8’.

I didn't see the Apex part.
But ETM claims a max head of 21.5'

Just throttle back the snapper. You shouldn’t be changing/ramping up and down your return pump anyway. Too much fluctuation in the sump.
