what are the good pump brands for return pump from the sump

[Scuba_Steve]

Danner Supreme Mag drives are my favorite. Eheims are also a good pick as well. Both are very reliable, and efficient, although the mags are a bit cheaper.

Mag drives are awesome. Eheim's not a bad choice.

Iwaki's a bit pricey, but supposed to be very much worth the choice.

I think the only one I'd avoid is rio. Some people love 'em, I'm not quite sold on them though.

My order of internal pump preferrences:

1. Eheim 1260 or 1262
2. Ocean Runner
3. Mag drive

Unknown.... Quiet One for use as a return.

Pass on all the others.
