external pump suggestions

any suggestions on (1.5" in/1.5" out) external pumps for a 300 gallon tank that will house sps,lps. 2 main, 4 closed loop.

 

Reeflo HammerHead 5800gph.

I have two (actually 3, 1 for spare) and they are super quiet and multi voltage if you want to run them at 220v.

Heck Tangster had a Dolphin pump he sent me that pushed 11,900gph but heated the water a bit because of no air changes where I put the pump. It was 2" in and 2" out. Heck of a pump.

 

have you heard anything bad about the "GLASS REINFORCED POLYPROPHELENE"

 

manta ray and tiger are the only two pressure pumps reeflo has, can the others be used for the sump/tank since there not set up for pressure?

 

Got to reeflo.com and you will see the blackfin models are at a reduced price. I hooked mine up for a test and they really push the water. The are not super quite but if you have an equipment room they will be fine. I do not recommend them if you are placing them under the stand due to slight noise. Mine runs from a sump by gravity feed to the inlet side of the pump if that is your question?

 

that was my ?, what other pumps do you suggest

 

Red Dragon pumps I've heard are quiet and energy efficient.

 

I wish I could tell you about other pumps but these were my first two external pumps. I'll do some research and get back to you if I find something for your application.

 

vegasfish: ive already been emailing reeflo regarding this

froc3: red dragons are over priced and non productive, sorry

 

Unless you are running like 20' head I doubt you will need the MantaRay.
