Here is a pump that is good for 700 gph. Runs fairly quiet and generates little to no heat. Check around for better pricing.

I've had good luck with the new Rio Hyperflow. Don't get the older rio's which are junk!
But you can't go wrong with the mag drives except that they are power hungry and supposedly cause alot of heat. _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

I agree with getting a mag. I run a mag 18 for my return pump and a mag 9.5 on my berlin skimmer and they kick butt and pretty quiet. As for the power consumption the mag 18 pulls 193 watts, and the mag 9.5 pulls 93 watts I think thats pretty efficient considering the performance and reliability.

Can't beat the mag pumps! On a standard tank with a 1" drain i would go with a mag 9.5.

Has Anybody heard of these by LIFETECH:
LT3500 600GPH
LT4550 700GPH
LT5400 1180GPH
LT4660 1260GPH http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...51865&rd=1
I need a return pump from my sump to my NEW 55 Gal. But I would like for it to carry enough pressure so that I can make a fitting tree and just use that to circulate water, that way I don't have to put powerheads inside the tank. I'm looking at the Mag drive 9.5, but these LIFETECHs are cheap and push more GPH.
What do you guys think? _________ &&&&20 Gal. , Millenium 1000 & 2000 filter, 130watt Corallife 50/50 reef lamp. Maroon Gold-striped Clown, Pygmy (Cherub) Angel, Skunk Cleaner shrimp, 8 Turbo Snails, 1 unknown cone snail , a branch of red grape calerpa , Sun Polyps, Blue-Green Striped shroom, Red shroom, Zoo Polyp colonies, & Green Star polyps, green monti. | |
