what pump to use?
ok here we go I have a 220 gallon reef on my first floor. Sump and fug in my basement. I have 15lbs. of head psi. to overcome. Right now I am using a Iwaki 100rtl. which works great! moves a good amount of water. but also spanks the hell out of my electric bill.
 So is there a pump I could be using that would be less power hungry? lets hear some thoughts foulks...

the pumps that lower electric bills move less water, or move the same yet cannot handle the head pressure... stick with what works... the hobby is an expensive one.
