External water
pumps are offered in many different sizes for different
applications. They can be pumps for high-pressure (used
with protein skimmers and pumping water from remote
locations) and low-pressure (ideal for closed loops
and sump returns) applications. The best pumps are very
efficient and use very low electricity, making them
ideal for larger tanks. For water return in smaller
tanks or powering protein skimmers there are many choices
of brands and models. Most experts recommend turning
the water of your tank over 5 to 10 times per hour in
a fish-only system. In a reef tank, we recommend turning
the water over least 10 times per hour (many hobbyist
go up to 40 to 50 times/hour). For example, a 30 gallon
reef aquarium should be at least 300 gallons/hour of
turnover.
