Iwaki RLT versues RLXT pumps for a new setup

[jasonson]

I need some help please. What is the difference between the two pumps and which one should I get. This is the only thing I am really confused with. I’m about to setup a new 180 reef tank. Upgrading from a 135 fish only tank. (sold everything I had). I currently have purchased a 30 gallon sump (Oceanic) with a Mag 7 to run the AquaC EV180 protein skimmer. Three Max Jet 900 powerheads. 72” MH/ PC lighting system. Red Sea Wavemaster Pro Wave Maker and various other items. What pump should I really get and any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BYT, my wife gave me permission to “do it right” God love her.

The RLXT is for circulation only while the RLT is a pressure-rated pump. If there is significant back pressure such as powering a skimmer, chiller, UV sterilizer, or any other type of flow-restrictive device, you'll want the RLT. If it's just for recirc purposes, the RLXT is the better choice.

How come I can't find a woman like that? Probably why I'm still single
