    Looking for input and advice? I have approx 30ish+ feet of 1" pipe between my Pan World 200ps and my 310 gallon tank that is upstairs. I also have a mock closed loop that I am running the Pan World 50px-x. The pressure coming out of my 50 is not strong at all, so I have been thinking about moving my 200ps to my mock closed loop and getting a new pump for down stairs. I should also state that my main pump also feeds a small frag tank and a 60 gallon container of live rock before going upstairs to my main tank. the pumps i have been considering are


    reeflo mantaray silver or the Reeflo Commercial Power 1,2,or 3 HP High pressure external pump


    Any thoughts?


    I unstand that the water needs contact time when flowing through the sump and refugium but I also need about 3 times more power than what I currently have. I was also thinking about getting those things KPotter has that spin around to change up the flow.

    I switched from the mantaray to hammerhead and glad i did. Wayyy quieter. Plus its not a 220 so i can plug it into apex. Still have my mantaray for a backup. If you have a 220 wired up id let ya borrow the mantaray gold i have to see how it does. It does pump alot of water!!

    MXC- I don't have a 220 but I was thinking about putting one in until you said something about that APEX and your right, it would be nice to be able to hook it up to my APEX.

    Can the mataray be rewired for 110. I know some pumps like that can be switched.
