recomend an internal return pump

Looking for an internal return pump to replace my Rio2100. Considering a eheim 1262, but may want a little more flow. Right now, my rio is only pushing enough water to use 1 of my 2 1" drains.

Looking for quiet and little heat.

What's out there?

I would recommend Water Blaster HY-5000. It's the quietest pump I've ever used and uses very little wattage (only 57W for 1300GPH of flow).

you may also want to look at the Laguna pumps.

The Eheim is a great pump that will last forever! If you want more flow you might consider the Fluval SEA SP-4. It's the same as the Laguna 1500 but with a higher flow, better bearings, a stand, and barbed fittings.
