Oh I'll pass on the sand, I want a more fine sand. But thanks for offering!!
And thanks Kev. I'll give it a read. Oh and I'll be cutting your frags tonight by the way

You got it.
The Jebao DC6000 mentioned above has very good specs vs. price on Ebay. Compared to the Rio hyperflow -
Rio 26HF....................$77shipped...................1,500gph...............100watts...............1,200gph at 6' head
Jebao DC6000............$125shipped..................1,500gph................40watts................? ? ?
The Jebao just doesn't show the flow curve so can't see flow at 6 feet, which is usually my gauge. And it's still more out of pocket up front, always a tough call.

Yeah it seems like its just one of those calls where either would be fine, just depends on the long haul. Like my Mag 9.5 I've had for over a year and never had a single problem with it. Do they make a bigger Mag?
They do make a mag 12, 18 and 24
Ohhh maybe ill just look into them since I've had good experience. I actually knew they made those ones, just completely forgot! Lol thanks anyways tho
Eh maybe not. The mag 12 is 110w and the mag 18 is 150w.
What kind of gph should I push for? My tank is gonna be mostly SPS and zoas

What's your overflow rated for? That's the first consideration. You may have to use a ball valve to limit the flow from your return pump(another plus to the DC pumps), so it doesn't exceed the overflow capability. I would use circulating pumps to provide the necessary flow within your tank.
To be honest I don't know. Its a glass holes overflow. Let me ask him if he remembers. And I do plan on getting 2 wp60s for flow inside

K he said its rated for 1500gph, he ran a mag 24 on it with multiple reactors.
I understand, however I have never noticed any heat issues with mine. Might be bc its a 9.5 but who knows.
Now Im probably gonna sound like a dummy but how do you have it running your reactors? I'm confused by that. With my GFO reactor, I have a seperate pump for it.
Simply "T" of of your return line and add a ball valve to control the flow and hook up to your reactor. Here's my frag tank plumbing.
One feeds my carbon/gfo reactor and the other feeds the biopellets. Everything is run by a mag 5 instead of separate pump for return and each reactor.
