DSR reefers! What's the best pump for a power filter?

[Daniel@R2R]

Question for all the [HASH=29819]#DSR[/HASH] folks! What's the best pump for a power filter? Which ones do you recommend? I want to build one, but all the pumps I own are closed on the intake, so I'll need to buy a pump.

Maybe someone else can answer this, bump!

As I am planning on running the EZ method, I’m quite curious about this too.

can one just use any old return pump or power head? Or?

Decided to move this to the DSR USA forum in hopes maybe I can get some ideas. ;Smuggrin

How big is your tank? I'm thinking I may go with this one. I've got a 50g. I'm also considering running 2 of them. One in the tank and one in the sump.

I went with sicce syncra 0.5 for my reefer 170. Filter needs changing every three days or it starts spewing micro bubbles constantly.

How did it go with the maxijet? What mods did you add? I'm considering the same
