ReefGuard Systems Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Looking for recommendations. thanks! Quote Link to comment
jservedio Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 What's your budget? Do you want controllable or fixed-speed? Do you want a major brand with support and a warranty or is a Chinese brand acceptable for you? There are probably more than a dozen choices. For fixed, you probably want under 500gpm (like a Koralia 425) and for controllable, you can go somewhere in the 1000-1500gpm range (like a Nero 3, MP10, etc.). 1 Quote Link to comment

Controllable for sure and don't want to much power for this small tank. Nero 3 looks good. Bit pricey. Quote Link to comment
jservedio Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hydor Aquamai KPS is bit more budget friendly but there are other companies that make more-or-less copies of more expensive pumps you can find a little more cheaply, Jebao probably having the best reputation. Like everything else in this hobby, you pay more for the name brand. The cheap pumps will absolutely get the job done (so will fixed speed), but you do get what you pay for. The more expensive pumps generally have a higher build quality, much more quiet, more features, clear instructions, support/parts, and a warranty. Quote Link to comment
