Return pump recommendation!

[ksed]

This us an excellent thread and would like to keep it going, if that's ok with OP

putting the heater in my sump. I never thought of that. Get rid of some unnecessary wires in my DT.

Every up-side has at least one matching down-side:

1. remote heater will need to be larger due to heat-loss from the sump and return pumbing
2. your display tank is at risk of having no heat in the event of a return pump failure

I would personally opt for a right-sized heater in the display. Or at least one-size-down from right, if that means you can fit/hide it better.

Out of the four pages, I don't recall anyone talking about the Abyzz line or even Royal Exclusiv Red Dragons.

The person didn't talk about spending limit, he just said reliable. Not sure I would classify some of those lower discount names reliable equipment.

Here are some side by sides of an Ecotech L1 and a Red Dragon 80watt.

I think I've just been told I don't qualify as an "anyone"!

If I were in a position where I needed the most reliable pump I could get, I would probably go with the Royal Exclusiv. These come with a very high cost, but are very high quality.

From the 3rd post in the thread.

If you want a good quality pump, go with the Royal Exclusiv or the Abyzz. Don't go with the Vortech.

I've been told you're eyes are the first to go when we get old. LOL

It happens to all of us!

It wasn't long ago I was criticizing a thread for not making a certain point. The embarrassing part was that I had actually made the point earlier in the thread. Ooops.
