Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - Looking for a good system pump for my 150-gallon

Hi there everyone,

I'm in the process of getting all my gear together for my 150 gallon and I need some advice on a system pump. The tank has a large 3-sided overflow in the center back wall which is rated at 1200 gph. There is one drain 1.5", and one return at 1". There is a distance of about 5 feet that water has to go to reach the top of the tank. I don't have a remote location for all my gear, so everything has to go under the tank in the cabinet. The tank is in the living room, so I need a quiet pump that doesn't sound like an outboard motor--LOL!

I'm going to be using two Tunze 6101's for flow in the tank. What would you guys recommend? Any advice will be much appreciated.
