I'm looking at increasing my return pump size as its become apparent that my turnover is far too small.
I have a 3000 Liter system and am looking at installing something like a 15-20,000 liter return pump This would also run through a 4-way Oceansmotions.
My dilemma is trying to find a pump available in the Uk which is reasonably priced and low wattage. I've looked at the Reeflo Sequence tigershark but its using 1000w. I was advised that a far cheaper alternative would be a Performance pro Artesian pump which is marinised. This is about the same price to buy in the UK but only runs at 316w.
Another choice is the Red Dragon. It runs approx 15000 at 150w!! but is nearly £700.

Wondered if you could give me some advice and direction.Would especially like to hear from those with a similar sized set up.

Thanks in advance

Martin
