Return Pump Question

Michael Felton · 09/27/2009, 01:26 PM

I am looking to get a new return pump for my 90 gallon tank. It came with a Rio 2500 when i bought the setup. I was thinking of upgrading to a Mag drive. I don't however know if I should get a Mag drive 7 or a Mag drive 9. Or some other brand alltogether. I am still pretty new to the hobby and any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Mike

If it's within your budget, I would suggest an Eheim 1262. Dead quiet and lasts forever. If nor the Eheim, go for a Mag 9.

IMO, Eheim 1262 is way better than a Mag.
