I want to buy a circulation pump for a 5ft 100g freshwater tank to prevent dead spots and debris deposits. I've only had experience with closed loop pumps, so I'd appreciate some advice with choosing this "wavemaker" type.
These are the things I'm looking for in this new pump:
From everything I've seen so far, I'm leaning toward either Hydor's Koralia evolution 5600 or Koralia 3G 5000, which both seem to tick most if not boxes. Does someone have any experience with these? Or is there any other models/brands I should be looking into? I'm also unsure about the LPH rating, so any insight on that would also be helpful.
These are the things I'm looking for in this new pump:
- silent operation (as in "Eheim silent")
- low consumption
- durable
- fair price (as in NOT "Ecotech expensive")
- available within EU/Chengen area (international orders aren't worth the hassle)
