Available in five models from 1,000 to 12,000 litres per hour, these pumps move water from your sump back to your aquarium and can also supply compatible equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing able to adjust your return pump makes setting up a sump much easier. You can balance the flow with your overflow and filtration, with room to turn it down when needed. The separate controller keeps adjustments accessible, and the 10-minute feed timer saves manually switching the pump off at feeding time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing Your Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eMaximum Flow\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSuggested Aquarium Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eBest Suited To\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 50Ð100 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSmall aquarium returns with modest lift and short pipework\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 100Ð250 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSmall to medium aquariums with sump filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 250Ð500 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMedium reef aquariums and larger freshwater setups\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 500Ð1,000 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLarger aquarium returns or systems supplying additional equipment\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e12,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 1,000Ð1,500 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLarge displays and systems with multiple equipment feeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAquarium sizes are our practical guide for return-pump use, rather than manufacturer ratings.
