What Return Pump to Use

[bobf216]

I am trying to figure out a good return pump to return water to my tank. I have a manifold off the pump to power a BR-110 biopellet reactor. The water travels up about 5' to the tank. anyone have any suggestions. I was thinking a Mag 7

What size tank is it? I have a Mag 7 on a 75 gal. and am switching it to a Mag 9.5.

oh i forgot to put that in there. I have a 30 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump. I am currently running a via aqua 306 but once the bio pellet reactor is connected there just isnt enough head pressure to pump much water up to the display tank

Okay. A Mag 7 will give you plenty of flow to accomplish what you need. I'd put a gate valve in line so you can restrict the flow if needed.

I have an MJ1200 on my 60 cube, works well and doesnt brake the bank.

You can get Mag pumps from petmountain.com very cheap.
