Replacing my return pump...any recommendations?

[thejoshdavis]

I've got to get it replaced sooner than later before I get in a jam. Pump is submersed in my sump and just pumping water back into the DT.

Current pump is a Catalina Aquarium CA 1800 rated at 635 gph. Part of me wants to take the MJ1200 off my reactor and use that until I can get another one.

Any recommendations by you guys?

Rick (mixer911) suggested this one to me and its very quiet I cant even hear it. This site was selling them for 119 but went up a little, still the cheapest out there I can find. Its also 635 gph


Eheim 1260

Universal Pump 1260, 635 gph | VetDepot.com

I was actually looking at Eheim pumps and this one caught my eye.
Amazon.com: EHEIM Compact+ Pump 3000 for up to 792 US Gallons (3000L): Pet Supplies

Not sure what the major differences are from the compact to universal

eheim all the way....1260 or 1262. Im a big fan of upsizing the pump. then in the future when you want to add a reactor or other item you can "t" off the main supply.

I just replaced a mag 9.5 with a 1262. couldnt be better!!

If you want cheap price but still very good quiet and durable then go with ecoplus pumps. I think the 700gph one is about $45 i think at the Critter. Ive had numerous ecoplus pumps of all sizes and run them on both my dt and qt

I use a deep blue triton 4 and highly recommend it. Got it running my 90 and its quiet as a mouse.
