Question about IM return pump

[redwhiteandink]

Hello everyone so tomorrow I'm getting a Nuvo 16 but it doesn't come with a return pump and I'm not sure what that is, do I really need one? Can I just run my power head ? I'm very confused about that

You will want one. It is an all in one tank. Meaning the water flows through the back of the tank like a sump.

Look at their website for the specs of the tank and buy a pump equivalent to the GPH they are using.

- probably around 400-500/gph.

You can pick up an MJ pump those sizes at almost any LFS.
