I'm running 2 wave line dc5000's. Decent flow and very quiet with low power consumption

Eheim 1262 isn't enough... I had one of these and just took it out a couple weeks back, and put a Mag18 back in... This was due to the fact that there wasn't enought water turnover in the sump for my new skimmer.
The eheim pump is a great pump, but for turnover rate of your tank you need more. My tank is a 180 gallon with 100 gallon sump.

Is wave line the same as speedwave pumps? Was able to find something on wave line pumps.

True, but 2000 GPH+ through a sump that holds a 600 GPH skimmer is just a waste of energy and is noisier than need be.
Use a closed loop or power heads for DT flow. I have a 4500 GPH closed loop and keep sump turnover to a minimum. Water needs time in the sump to make use of LR, refugium, skimmer, and all the other goodies in there. |

Looks like we're going with a speedwave pump. Thanks for the input guys. And your advice Albert.
