Default 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.

EHEIM 1262 works very well too.

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?

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
