Need advice with return pump
I have a 210 gallon semi-reef that I'm setting up...I am considering the GEN-X gx18000 (4750gph) return pump. I plan on using the pump to run my uv ster, 2 media reactors and my calc reactor. Does anyone have any experience with this pump and is it too much flow? Can it be throttled down? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks...bballdad13 |

That's a very large return pump. Would it be located in a basement or just under the cabinet?

why not run them separately from the sump.

your thoughts?
It will be located under tank in my cabinet. I want one pump to run everything so that it will cut down on the heat that is transferred to the tank from all of the pumps if run separately. I can also throttle the pump with a ball valve, right?
