It was metioned more flow was being sought so it was a suggestion to use the sequence's
I used a dart as a return but it was used with quite a few return holes with loc-line on them. So it worked well. But generally they are a bit much for a return pump yes but many people use them in this application as they are far more reliable than say a ocean runner or sedra or a mag. Since mag,sedra and ocean runner pumps generally are not that could when used inline they are more for submersible applications. Whereas if you need inline the sequence are nice, provided you know enough about how to minimize cavitation etc. For a return pump I would look at a little giant before i would use a sequence though for most applications.


Here is the spec sheet for little giant aquarium pumps (note some of them are fairly loud ie 4md(whatever..i forget the model exactly if you can keep it in the stand or another room its real quiet though )
