I have a turf algae scrubber on my RSR 250. I started it using a sicce nano pump since that was what I had around, but it was not enough flow. I had some growth but it wasn't creating a wall of water down the screen. Today I attached an MJ 1200 295 gph, and tried to just dial the flow down using a restrictor valve on the intake. Holy crap its so noisy and it seems a crazy amount of flow.
Since I need to get a new pump. I need some recommendations. The screen is 8 x 8 inches. I'm looking for suggestions on brand and what flow rate I should be putting through this scrubber.
Is there a DC pump that is under 500gph out there?
Just a pic of the scrubber the day I put it in.
