I'm in the process of setting up a 75 gallon mini-reef. The tank is a "reef ready" Oceanic and I'm deciding on the return pump. Suggestions?
What do you all think of Rainbow Lefegard's system? I like the idea of not having the heater in the sump (or tank), so this is nice, but I'm unsure of their quality. I know that dolphin's ampmaster3000 seems to be a good pump, but I think that would be too much flow. Then there's always the mag drive... Thanks!!

Unless you're going to really add some serious sumps, refuges, sea swirls, closed loops, and skimmers to that system, I would steer away from the high-capacity pumps.

Small tanks actually benefit better from a few small pumps, rather than a really large one.

I have a Mag9 on the return on my 75 Oceanic. It provides plenty of flow. I use Hagens (powerheads) on the inside of the tank to move the water around a bit.
