What is a good brand overflow and return pump
 
I am looking for a hang on back overflow for our 92 gallon corner tank. What is a good brand, and what rating/flow? It needs to be relatively quiet as the tank is in our great room where I spend all day with the kids. And what size and type of pump would you recommend for the return then? The sump will be under the tank, and the height of the tank and stand is about 5 feet. Will probably use some sort of flexible PVC. The only other flow we will have is 2 vortech's.
Thanks,
Marcie

CPR overflow is quiet (Durso pipe will make it silent)
Eheim pumps are very quiet and reliable.
Mag pumps are very reliable but noisy.

I used a CPR overflow for a couple years. It worked fine all that time. Have you selected skimmer yet? I would base my return pump selection off the skimmer your going to use. I assume your looking for a submersible pump, you can't go wrong with mag pumps if your on a budget. If you can afford it go Eheim.
