What pump is everyone using with their calcium reactors?

I just got a new reactor, a Geo612 but got it without the pump since I already have plenty of small Mag pumps and Quiet One pumps. I was trying to decide which one to use......Mag 3 or Quiet One 1200.

Do you think there would be an issue if the GPH is higher than the pump that is sold with it?

The Mag3 is a good fit. There is such a thing as virtual height in a CaRx but you can reach a limit to where you aren't gaining anything and cavitation occurs.
