Thanks for your reply! I got the return pump with the tank and stand off someone online and didn't think to look at headloss so figured 950gph would do fine... Obv not and I'll have to upgrade that soonish. Decided to go one outlet since I don't need to pressure decrease off that small pump by splitting it.

For power heads I'm actually really interested in the Jeabo rw ones. I like the variability to control them and I don't mind the shorter lifespan for the price point- since I'm new at all this I think in a year or two I'll know so much more about my tanks needs and what I want for it I can at least make an educated decision on if I should be spending that much on a power head.

The Jebao DC series pumps are actually quite good. I've had my 9000 going for over two years, never cleaned it and never had an issue. Huge flow and low power.

Mark's talking about the Jebao DC return pump, not the powerheads. However, if you're into the Jebao, then their return pump might be a good option for you too. From what I've seen, their return pumps seem to be better than their powerheads. I was even giving the return pump some thought for my own tank, and I'm a total Jebao snob.
