Depends on your livestock. If one runs mainly soft coral , it wouldn’t be a problem, that being said an SPS tank, alk can drop pretty quickly.
In warm climates not a problem but cold climates with heaters in the sump, it can pose a problem.
One of the best fall backs you can do is to run 2 return pumps throttled back. If one fails you have the other still keeping flow going.With the price of Jebao’s one could easily afford to run 2 at the same time. What I don’t know is if one were to run 2 Jebao pumps , would that negate any energy savings vs running a reliable say Eheim 1262 pump? Perhaps Outy can break this down for us as I am curious as well.
