Return Pumps: tests and real measurements compared

The last period on DaniReef.com was really full of work and ideas, too bad not only have enough arms to follow all the projects we initiate.

The project of the return pumps is now old and started with the previous article “return pumps: calculating the flow” that I invite you to read, and which proposed an excel file, downloadable, editable with most of the pumps on the market, which were often recommended as return pumps in the forums and among hobbyists. The file made possible from the data of the pumps and the prevalence of each tank, get a pump flow rate calculated for each individual pump.

Although the file would be updated by anyone, I was always curious to know how pumps would behave in reality as well as declared by individual manufacturers.

During the Zoomark of last year we decided to contact some companies in the industry to do a comparative test of the pumps.

Some have enthusiastically joined,  in true alphabetical order, Eheim, Tunze and Sicce, and they have provided the pumps subject of our comprensive test.

Ecotech Marine VorTech MP40: Our Complete Review

When EcoTech Marine presented the new Vortech MP40 to the aquarium market, a new era began. This product was very nice and soon acquired a lot of interest. It quickly became the “king” of the pumps even before it started functioning. The pump has an external part which incorporates the motor of the pump, this finally crates a pump that almost not noticeable in the tank. At those times it was something incredible.

And today? After many years that the pump has been released on the market, no one has had the courage or the patents in order to develop something similar to it. So up to now it remains the only external magnetic drive pump available in the aquarium market. Still today it remains a dream for many aquarium hobbyists.

Tunze Turbelle Stream 6105 – The Complete Review

The Tunze Stream Turbelle 6105 can be considered as the main product of the lineup of the Tunze pumps. This is because they can be used in aquariums from 300 to 400 liters, which are the ones most advance aquarist chose to use today. These are those aquariums that are larger than a nanoreef but smaller than a 500.

In this way they can still provide a decent catchment area, especially if we consider that 120cm aquariums of length are the ones which have the best ratio among quality/price/performance for keeping sps corals, which is reason why aquarist buy these pumps.
