Hello was looking for people who have experience with vector m2 and the neptune cor20 return pumps. I am in the process of setting up 120g cichlid tank with a 40 gallon sump. this will be the first time using a sump and i am stuck between which return pump to buy. if anyone has some input on the good/bad that would be great. the head pressure should be around 8ft. i am using a syngery reef 16inch ghost over flow . Thanks !
 
Did you mean Vetra M2? I use an L1 for a closed loop and it works well. You should conservatively plan for half the gph considering plumbing and head pressure. I had an issue earlier on and ecotech sent me a refurb since I was out of warranty. No isssues since...knock on wood.

I don't have any first hands with the Neptune. Post some pictures of the install with the ghost overflow. My tank has a ghost overflow too and has been working well.
