Need a Return Pump (mine broke)

[wrasse]

Hope the new pump keeps running as well.
The M1 should be great.

Well....pump is in hand, but little did I know, you have to use Ecotech adapters to convert to 1.5 inch plumbing. I guess that overnight shipping I paid for was a waste.

Apparently, Ecotech uses BSP threads when standard plumbing is NPT (whatever this means?). Thanks Ecotech!

Thanks. I have a mag-something returning water now. It will keep things alive until I get the fitting next week.

Aww man, I use 4 of the vectras on my systems. So I have a backup of both sizes and adaptors, guess I'm just late to the party. I've been really happy with the noise level though. Silent compared to the hammerhead I was running.

After a trip to lowes, a trip to HD, and few hours of work, the M1 is running. It seems plenty powerful to run my two reactors and push plenty of flow through my sump. In the end, it's just a return pump and I'm not too excited about it.

My biopellets that sat in my reactor for nearly a week smelled like rotten eggs. I rinsed them with water from the sink, so they will have to re-seed.

On a positive note, I cleaned my skimmer, which I haven't done for six or eight months.
