Eheim 1262. Super quiet and you can tee it off to feed the chiller.

My only two choices would be Ocean Runner or Eheim. Both have a good track record, are energy efficient, run cooler and quieter than others and most importantly do not have restart problems after a power outage. I have a new Hyperflow the magnet swelled up on and they would not cover it as well as two Quiet Ones that burned up and 4 Mags that rattled like the dickens and ran hot. OR pumps are all I use now.

Laguna 1500 my favorite.. I currently run the atb flowstar 2900...Which is a laguna motor powered atb volute I like flow..

Laguna is a great option, but for a little less money and great reliability gotta go with Ehiem!!
