Return pump for Reefer 350
Will a Reef Octopus VarioS-6 rated at 1720GPH be too much for a Reefer 350 (91 Gallon) tank?
Their website recommends 800gph return and I can't quite find the GPH at the lowest setting. Anyone have experience with the VarioS-4 or 6 pumps?

Do not have a Varios but typically, DC pumps without digital controllers at their lowest setting is roughly 30%. I read this about the Jebao DC/DCT pumps if this helps.

The RSR displays have pretty restrictive returns so you will have more head pressure than you expect. With the Various being a DC pump, I think you will be just fine.
