Return Pump?

[adam87]

Which pump do you guys think would be a good return pump. This would return water for my 180, 40b, 20L.

I use Laguna Max Flo 1500 and could not be happier. Works great without any problems and most important is completely quiet. Can't hear it at all. Definitely I would recommend those pumps.

Oops! Edit: I read too fast, didn't realize there was a choice between two suggestions.

They are basically the same pump. They are both made by Askoll.
Here is little more info on the Fluval Sea: http://reefbuilders.com/2012/05/16/fluval-sea-recirculation-pumps/

My sump won't be in a basement, I don't have one. Which sucks. And it will feed other other devices.

Mine return Laguna 1500 feeds biopellet reactor and GFO and carbon reactor also.
I had Eheim 1262 before and it is one great pump but it was to weak to feed all my reactors and also was a lot louder than Laguna. It was important to me for pump to be quiet, since my tank is in living room.

i sold my 1260, i wasnt impressed i had it on my 90 for a return only no 90 degree turns or anything just straight up just didnt put out a lot of flow. my mag9 is way better IMO

I have no experience with the 2 pumps listed but I will only use Eheim on my tanks. I originally had a 1260 but it was whitewater rafting time in my sump. It was silent in my cabinent but it was too muuch flow for my tank. I downgraded to the 1250 and I am pleased with it. I wish they had something inbetween those two sizes though. My setup is dead silent and my head is maybe 4 feet max.
