I recently got a Red Sea Reefer 170 setup and it looks like the return hose is 3/4” OD. Wondering what others have running for return pumps that fit well before I buy one. Thanks for your input!

Vectra S with the hose barb.

Vectra S1/M1 Barb & Screen Kit - Ecotech Marine
Perfect for submersible return pump applications.The barbed fitting will allow the Vectra pump to use soft tubing for plumbing, while the included screen will keep foreign matter from entering and causing damage to the pump.M1 Barb and Screen Kit: Barb fitting will work with 3/4" ID soft tubing.

You need to match the ID for a secure fit!

Yea I’m having trouble finding a pump that will fit it correctly. All the mobius ready S2 pumps are sold out, not even sure if they are released yet
I believe it’s like 19mm Id that comes with it originally. You can either change that barb to 3/4” or the supplied hose will squeeze over a 3/4” barb after warming it up in hot water.
that being said I run a reef octopus varios-2 and it’s been flawless and perfectly sized for that aquarium.
