PanWorld 100px. It is external, but will not even blink at the head pressure. It should also last more than a decade.

i have a 75 DT and a 55 sump also 9' vertical with 3 90's i am using the Hydor Seltz D 2400 AC variable. it has 6 settings i am using the second for return flow. the lowest setting holds the water column if i need to stop the flow for a minute. i am using a 1.25 inch return line. i am very pleased with it this is when i first set it up.
