LF return pump
 

Well I think I want to go from my external water pump to an internal one.

I am looking for about 1000gph flow. I don't know much about pumps or brands but I am obviously looking for something reliable, quite, and easy to get parts for if needed. Definatly need something thats not outlandishly priced aswell.

I would look for a MAG 12. Good pump, reliable, easy to get parts, and they don't lose much head as a return pump.

If u don't mind shipping topdogsellers.com is really good and cheap I paid 60 with shipping for my 1400 ghp oddeasea pump a year ago and not a problem yet

If someone on here has one I would definatly be interested. Otherwise I just have to find a LFS that sells them...

Um where do you go in the website?

Most return pump are labeled as pond or fountain pumps you might have to go threw eBay under pond pumps if topdogsellers no longer has the search engine

+1 wayne a mag 12 would be perfect for your tank its not a large pump its quiet and has 1200 gph (if i remember correctly) and its def very affordable when i lived in edmonton marine aquaria had them at a good price i paid only $50 for mine second hand:):) im only using a mag 9.5 with my 90 now but i wish i had the 12:):)

EHEIM 1262 works very well too.:biggrin:

Nothing but good reviews on these pumps, but I believe quite a bit more money?

with losses the 1262 (which I love) will not give you your desired output but maybe for a super reliable and fairly quiet pump that's ok?

I find that the Mag 12 or 18 put a lot of heat into the tank. In the summer months this will be a problem for a smaller system.
