Looking to get a new internal pump for my 90gal. Bang for the buck/time tested would be a GREAT combination! Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Need some recommendations for a new internal pump!

I've had good experience with quiet one pumps on my old 65gal. I ran mine for 3+ years with no issues.
Also many have bought the jebao dc return pumps. I purchased a dc12000 to test. But haven't had a chance to do so yet.

Eheim 1260 or 1262.... I am running my skimmer, reactor, chiller and return all of an eheim 1262. It is a beast of a pump... Not the cheapest but the most bang for the buck definately.

Is there a smaller model? This would strictly be a return pump.

yeah Ehiem is supposed to be bullet proof, i'm using the Jebao DC6000, had a cheap Rio before. i'm definitely happy with the Jebao, DC is supposed to be the new best thing, and price is good. its also whisper quiet, i dont even hear it. My skimmer is a different story, im gonna get a DC pump skimmer soon.

I think the 1260 would be fine if you want to look at that line. Their Compact+ line is also worth considering.
Generally speaking, a 500 gph or 700 gph pump is what I would recommend, unless you have some crazy plumbing that would add significantly to the apparent head height you are dealing with.
Mag 5 or Mag 7...QuietOne 2200 or 3000 would also be excellent recommendations IME.
