75g Pump suggestions

vasylr · 04/14/2009, 07:13 PM

I am in need of a new pump for 75g as my old one is wearing out. when i took it apart today i noticed wear on insiede where shaft of impeller sits. Can you recommend me something as to GPH 'cause sticker on old one is gone so not really sure what it was and how big it was.

By the way my return line is 1 in. with diy durso overflow

Thanks

are you looking for internal pump or external pump suggestions, i think external but i could be wrong. are you running a sump?

i am running a sump and i want internal, will i need shutoff valve to control pressure?

Go w/ the eheim 1620, you will never regret it. Quiet and runs forever.

I used a mag 7 on my 75 for the return and a quiet one 4000 on a closed loop. Good flow throughout.

Im using a quiet one 3000 for sump return, it made noise at first but got quite after a day or 2. very efficient too about 36 watts its drawing, even less if you throttle it back. Pumps are not all the same, some use alot more juice without producing more work.

I have an eheim 1620, it is very quiet and I have never had a problem with it in the near 5 years that I have owned it.

I have a Mag 9.5 for my return...lotta flow!

But I love the pump
