    Default Pumps which one ?

    I have been looking at the Dolphyn 3000 or is there a better and more quiet pump I can use?

    I am going to be setting up a little tank that is 5 feet long 30" front to back and 24" tall. It will be for acro and other hard corols and maybe a few leathers and such.

    And will have a 55 gal. refugium . Any ideas?

    Wow, nice size tank. Maybe a little over 200 gallons? If you're looking for a return pump, I recently bought one of the blueline HD (iwaki knock-off) pumps. I really like it. I'm not sure if they make one that can push around nearly as much water as the ampmaster, though.

    Default :o) Thank you so much

    Well actually I think it is going to be a 187 gallon tank with a 50 gallon refugium. And not only want it for water return but also some movement . I know cake and eat it to lol. I have seen one of those Dolphyn 3000 pumps run and it was very quiet and moves lots of water. I read that it is a slow turning pump as well. And used less amps to run.
    Just trying to see what is out there that works and will not rip your head off for the price :o).

    Thank you all for your responses
