CKL Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Only Downside that thier insump Pumps ..Kinda looking for Externa Pumps Agreed. Which somewhat contribute to higher temperature. Eheim is a good choice but the maximum flowrate is 4500l/h on the 1264. And that's before head loss.

SRC Member reefaquaria Posted June 26, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted June 26, 2014 Agree on eheim, can use couple of pumps to achieve desired flow rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKL Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Anyone Heard Of Laguna Water Pumps?.. Laguna pumps should be made in Italy. They are typically for pond and fountain setup. I have seem then being used in large freshwater aquariums. So you need to check if they are suitable for saltwater.

SRC Member angmoh Posted June 28, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2014 jebao pumps,although made in china, i'v been using 2 for almost 1 year and still running strong. the look is awful, but low power consumption. drawing 40+Watts for 5000L pump. one thing about pumps is, do not turn them on and off frequently..
