Hi Guys,

Any recommendation of submersible pump for 3ft and 4ft Ohf?

In terms of Pump price and efficiency?

TIA.

Is power consumption a concern?

From my observation, it seems like price of pumps are usually cheap. For example ATMAN pumps are pretty decent and works well, however their power consumption is pretty high. So you might want to consider if you are looking at long term savings, or would it be just for short term use.

Are those Taiwan China type ok?

I use otto power head. very reliable. 3 and 4 ft probably you need a overturn rate of 1500l/h ?

[RES!]

I can recommend the Boyu and Dolphin brands, generally cheap, strong, and reliable. But not so power saving compared to the ang moh brands, so you will have to factor that in.

i use TOM800 for my 4feet OHF. Decent 3000lph.

I am using Aquanic 3000 it retailedat $28 from C328.

Powerful enough for my 5x2x2. I used this model to power all my tank.. except two running on Tom800 and the other on Dyna 3000.

All similar looking and flowrate.

Tank type A is 170l

Tank type B is 130l

So i guess 1500l/h is good enuff?

Ohf will be obi 2 tier. 1 teir biohomme n 1 tier wool.

Get Dolphin brand. Cheap, use low power and is pretty reliable.
