    I am upgrading soon to 210 gallon AGA with dual overflows. It's going to be Herbie system with 55gallon sump/refug. Looking for return pump options. Would like to run two reactors off it also, gfo & carbon. Also has two mp40's for circulation inside of tank. Any suggestion please?

    Have you looked at the Tunze silence line? They are powerful.

    A Reeflo Dart would also be a good choice for a tank that size.

    That's what I was steering toward. Only fear is I hear a lot of people with pump seal problems. I do like the low power draw.

    Laguna Maxflo pumps are nice good flow vs watt numbers too. They use the Askoll pump its a nice motor:)

    Good Luck!
