Return pump suggestions

[Dana42078]

I wanna order the last of my equipment for my 45g tonight. (mp10,reactor,return pump,ATO) Just not sure which return pump to buy. I'd like to hear some feed back on a really good pump that i shouldnt have any issues with. Money isnt a problem but dont wanna go over 200. 45g tank with about a 14g sump.

Thanks

Check out the mag drive pumps. I have a mag7 on my tank. Its been running nonstop for over three years. Just a routine cleaning every few months.

They are work hourses.

I had a bad experience withQuiete 1 pumps. The one I had leaked when running as an external pump.

Yea im looking at the mag, just not sure if i should get the mag7 or mag 9.5

Well, I do love the mags, but I'm replacing mine, its a real energy eater.

The Mag Drive pumps are amazingly reliable. I have a pair of 9.5 on my main 120 display, a mag 3 on the grag tank, and a mag 5 in my mixing container. Eheim is another very, very reliable pump.

Just helped my cousin install a Mag 7 on his 55 gallon tank.. So far it's working great..
