Return Pump Options
Hey Fella's
Recently got my hands on a 6x2x1.3 Looking at replacing the return pump with the following options 1) Eheim 5000 2) Jebao DCS 7000 3) Ecotech Vectra M1 4) Or any other suggestions Pump needs to be: - 5-7000lph - Low heat - Silent - Fit in a chamber 11cmx40cm |

If you have the budget for the vectra it's the way to go over the rest of the list hands down. Others to consider fluval sp series

I have the L1 on my 72x 30w X 24" tall. I run 2 reactors from it too and it's awesome. I'd get the L1. Then you don't have to run it so high.

IMO, if you have the $, the Vectra is a awesome pump.

I am probably going to use a Deep water bldc15, slightly more flow than Vectra and a little cheaper

Before I switched from my Reeflo Dart to the L1 and the Eheim to the M1, my tanks temp was consistently in the 80.5 range give or take a .1. Now it's at 79.7, give or take a .1 So it seems to be a tiny bit cooler.
