my new baby... AKA The Café

That was pretty quick on the transmission.., not your 1st rodeo huh

My father-in-law has been a GM transmission mechanic for almost 40 years.

For some reason I read:

“Transmission in butt battery is dead” and thought you were doing some weird metaphor for either a hip injury or laziness

No, but my wife broke her leg yesterday... Right above the ankle. We'll talk to the orthopedic on Tuesday hopefully.

 

[Reefering1]

Ohh no... how did that happen?

 

[tbrown]

Ohh no... how did that happen?

She said she either missed the bottom stair or hit it wrong and rolled her ankle and fell. We had a game night at church last night and she was helping put away the microphones and was coming down the stairs. We were hoping it was sprained but the x-rays showed differently.

Hope she heals quickly

Ouch I've been pretty lucky for the amount of stupid stuff I've done in my life. I'm still only at 3 broken bones after 43 years...

What volume of return pump am i looking at for a 150g?

 

[Reefering1]

Biggest one you can fit(within reason)

You could go with a Sicce Syncra 5.0, but not much less than that, IMO.

It depends on the other flow-makers in the tank too...

 

[Stang67]

3-5x for returns. Remember to factor in head pressure. Check out flow charts to confirm both.

 

[Slocke]

BRS recommends 5-10x but BRS also recommends selling your organs to pay for a power head

I have found the higher the turnover rate you have, the less detritus you will have. You can have all the internal pump blowing everything around, but unless you have good flow into your overflow, thats all it will do.
I run both the Reef Octopus varios and the Ecotech lines and after a couple years both seem equal. The Varios has a auto shut off level control which is nice. Sicce may be a nice option but I have heard some find them loud. And of course there is Jeboa in which I have heard great things about.
So in summary to your ? Which was not about brands is...
Buy the biggest most reliable DC pump you can afford.. You can always turn it down. Or you may need to run a manifold off of it.
