Hello Everyone,
I need help choosing a return pump for my upcoming aquarium project. It is 8' x 3' x 3'. It will have a 20" synergy reef overflow. The information on their website says it will has a 2,500 gph flow rate. There will be two 1 1/2" returns (one on each end of the aquarium on the back.) I have been looking at various pumps but I'm just not sure which way to go or even what GPH range to look at. I plan on having a number of vortechs and/or maybe maxspect gyres for additional flow.
I've been looking at various builds of similar sizes but still can't quite figure out what I should do. I've looked at the Reeflo pumps and see lots of positive reviews and experiences with those. I've looked at the Ecotech L1 pump but don't know if it is big enough for my aquarium. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
