LF return pump

[Wayne]

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.

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.

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

[lastlight]

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.
