Need pump advice on refugium

BigLar · 05-29-2001, 09:19 AM

I have been in the process of combining my 30 reef and 50 gal to a 120gal. The tank has been setup for a few weeks now and doing great. This weekend I took the 30 gal and added it to the system as a refugium. I am currently using a Hagen AC 802 power head for the return pump and it works fine. I am concerned about the turnover rate though. I figure the refugium is being turned over at least 16 times an hour.

Should I replace this with a smaller pump? Which one?

How about the Mag 2 or the Mini-Jet 606?
