External Pumps... Sequence or ReeFlo?

[The R/C Man]

Hey everyone!

Well I am getting closer to buying the pumps I need for my 375 gallon tank and have run into a problem... Which ones to buy... I was considering the Sequence 750 series for my sump return and the 1000 series for my closed loop. Then in come the ReeFlo series which are less expensive and have similar flow rates. Both series look identical. Has anyone compaired the two? Are the Sequence quieter than the ReeFlo? Do the Sequence produce less heat? There must be a performance or quality sacrafice for the price difference. Help......

They are basicly the same pump. The 1000 series and the reefflo that is. They have the same motor and seal, but the only thing different is the material the front wet end is made of. The reefflo has a plastic casing that is see through and the 1000 series has some very strong bullet proof material. For what it does and the cost difference, I chose the reefflo. I have 5 of them now.

I also have 2 of the reflo Darts and think their great so far, run quiet and don't heat up.

Cool thanks for the info.... After you buy a few the cost savings adds up quickly....
