RETURN PUMP CHOICE

[kien]

Lots of great suggestions. I myself have been using a mag18 for the past five years. It has been reliable and quiet.

As evidenced by all the great suggestions, there are a lot of great pumps out there. The only suggestion that I would add is to pick a pump that is easy and/or cost effective for *you* to maintain. If your pump craps out on a Sunday evening or while you're on vacation you would want a pump that's easy to repair or cost effective (or available) to just swap out for a new one. I have a spare mag18 on hand that a tank sitter can easily swap if they ever found my return pump failed. The moral of the story is, it's always nice to have a backup!
