    I am looking to replace my cap5000 pump with a better one. One that won't break the bank either. Any suggestions?

    So Isaac reading online and somebody said that I only need a pump that will turn about 3 to 5 times my dt. Is this true because as of right now my cap 5000 is turning my tank aprox 10x not counting my powerheads.
