Best pump for the job??

I don't think you're going to get high pressure and low wattage. That simply does not exist to my knowledge. But an Iwaki or Panworld would do the job for you.

In terms of reliability, low watts and quietness Eheim is the best, but with that much head you will need a heavy duty external pump like Iwaki. And it will suck some hydro juice that's for sure.

+ 1 for both above posts....

Or a "Mak4" pump... added to the list above. All are very similar and equivalent.

i'm running the reeflo hammerhead hybrid and love it. tons of flow to run reactors and your return, reasonable watts and pretty quiet. plus they last a long time and the service is great

Are any of these pumps internal? Thanks

[whatcaneyedo]

Eheim pumps can be internal or external. All of the others mentioned so far are external only.

I personally use a Mag18... Good Price, quiet and reliable. They say it can be ran internal or external. Mine is internal.

Most LFS carry this series, so even if you have issues, replacement parts or new units should be easy to access.
