Have a deep blue triton 3 (850gph) in my sump for my 65 gallon. Seems to run warm and has been making odd noises (3 weeks old). This is my second one, the first one just stopped working. Can anyone recommend a different brand pump around the same GPH?
 
A Danner Supreme MAG 9.5. They also give off a little heat and are power hogs, but they run forever. Very popular pump; easy to clean; parts readily available.
 
i use marineland utility pumps the green colored ones. they run almost completly silent doesnt give off much heat, and are affordable

+1 I don't wanna jinx myself but have run these for 3 years and never a problem....maxi jets on the other hand everyone I have used (just for wc's I might add) the impeller has busted, stuck, or just stopped all together. I strongly recommend to stay away from maxi's for something as important as a return pump. They are very reasonable as stated and great for water changes though:)
