I am setting up a 90g DT with a 30g sump. I was wondering what are some recommendations for return pumps? There will be approx 8-10ft of PVC with 2 90 degree elbows. I will also be adding 2 valves that will branch off the return line for possible later installation of reactors and other equipment. I know the 400 dollar ecotech will work for me but I honestly don't want to spend that much. I would like to have enough flow to handle the tank as well as a reactor or 2 in the future. Most importantly, I don't want to have to replace it every 2 years BC it wears out. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
 
Have a look at the jeabo pumps. They are cheaper if you dont want to shell out for the vectra. They have some big pumps in the dcs and dct range. My mate runs the biggest on his display tank in his store 5000 litres with 2000 litre sump
 
I have been running a Jaebo 6000 on my 90 for 4 months. Replaced it twice so far. Would not recommend Jaebo unless you want to buy multiple times.

Too late...Lol already purchased...I will be running the tank for a little while with nothing in it so I will put it through the the ringer and see how it works. If I don't feel like it is going to cut it then I will find something else.
Thanks
 
I really like my Reef Octopus Varios 6. Been running it for 6 months so far. Apex controllable like the vortec but cheaper. I have mine running a 225g with no manifold running full tilt. ~1600 pgh after head pressure loss

I will be running a reefkeeper elite. Can it still be controlled?
