    Good pump for 10" screen?

    I currently have my return pump split off to run my 10" wide scrubber, but it just isn't enough flow. What pumps are you guys running to feed your scrubbers? I would prefer something reasonably cheap that doesn't use a ton of electricity.

    Submersible or dry?

    You can also just make the screen less wide. Cut the screen, and close off the slot.

    I would prefer a submersible pump.

    My only concern about making the screen narrower is reducing performance? I feed the 95g display pretty heavy and the total water volume is about 150-165g with my prop tank etc.

    Ehiems pumps are common favorites for submersible applications.
