+SChrisEV Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 One of these days I'm going to find the time to update everyone on my build, life's been crazy, but today I'm in need! I currently have an external Reeflo Dart/Snapper gold that is having some major issues. Of course, this happens when I have a business trip (tomorrow) so I have one evening to deal with this. So Ideally I'm looking for the offhand chance, someone has a Reeflo Dart/Snapper (Gold or not, they take the same inputs and outputs) that I could borrow for a week to two while my old one is being fixed. Last night, expecting a low likely hood of finding a Dart/Snapper laying around, I prepared my return to allow putting an internal pump inline while the Reeflo gets fixed. This gives me more options, but because of the setup, I'll need a pretty high flow pump. With the Reeflo tuned back a little, I calculate that I was getting about 2000GPH even with the head pressure. And it's rated at 4300GPH with 0 head pressure. That's not saying I need to match that much but I do need something with a pretty high flow rate. If you have something I can borrow for a couple weeks, that I can get today, PLEASE let me know! I can make it worth your while in some form of a coral as a thank you.

+SChrisEV Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks, @Jimbo662, it did. and Thanks @FarmerTy for providing me with two options, and finally thanks, @HarleyGuy In the end, I'm a convert. I've been running an external Reeflo now for... 5ish years, and I've always loved them, but in my most recent build I've has a number of issues. I believe it actually has very little to do with the pump and more with my setup and plumbing causing some heat on the pump. Anyway, I ended up going with a DC pump I borrowed from HarleyGuy (have a new one arriving tomorrow) and using it inside the sump. In the past, I decided to move away from that because the extra heat (AC pump) that was being added to the water. We'll see how it goes this summer, but I think I'll be okay. Anyway, this is such a great community that we have here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Which pump are you getting?Jaebo return pump, probably the latest 15000 model. I got insider info... [emoji41] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyGuy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The 15000 has a little more power than the DCT-12000 that he borrowed from me. Also, you can't beat $120 for a 3000gph DC pump or $140 for a 4000pgh DC pump. :-) (Amazon pricing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
