Need Help: Return Pump(s) for IM 30L


Harut

Recommended Posts

Soo... I need some help. I recently picked up a used IM 30L (will be my first saltwater tank) - it came with 2 return pumps (both are Sicce 0.5; each is rated at max 185 gph). So I ended up ordering MightJet DC by IM (rated for 538 gph). Unfortunately, I can’t find a Y splitter to be able to use one pump for both returns... so I have been using sicce for one and mightyjet for the other.. also, I have the IM spin stream for both returns. 

 

I’m trying to decide if I should get another mightyjet and replace sicce... or would this be overkill? If at all possible, I would prefer to not have any additional power heads in the tank.  

 

I’m looking to start out with softies/LPS...(maybe some SPS down the road...). 

 

Any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I would contact IM about getting a splitter.  The tank came with one originally.  Also should be able to find them online, if I remember the stock one was 1/2x1/2x1/2

Reached out to IM... waiting for a response. Haven’t been able to locate anywhere online. Thanks for your feedback!

These are a little different but do work. Had to go to this style when I upgraded you the Varios with a 3/4" output
