need pan world pump suggestion for MR2 skimmer
I am looking for a good reliable pressure rated pump for a MR2 skimmer. From what I have heard the pan world pumps are a little quieter than most of the others. But I am not sure what model to go with. I was looking at the 150ps 1100GPH but am not sure if this will work out for the MR2 or not. Any suggestions.
Thankx Drew.. |

That pump is perfect. Any pressure rated pump that pushes around 1000 gph for each beckett will work. If you have 2 becketts, then a 250ps would work nicely.

I would go with the 150-PS. I run that on a Bullet-2 (idential to the MR2) with a single beckett.
Definately like HippieSmell said, if your running 2 becketts you need 2x the power which the 200ps does (not quite but close). http://reeftanksupply.com/product_in...products_id=46 --- I got mine from those guys for $195. Shipping was like $5 or $10 but was still cheaper then others I found. |
