CaptainK Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I have 57g and mine is around 700gph. It is an eheim and I've had no complaints. Edited January 23, 2015 by CaptainK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 +1 Eheim. They are not as cheap as some pumps, but the Eheims are reliable and quiet. It is one of the most important parst of your system. As I said in your other thread I love my Eheim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryknow Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 3 to 5 times tank volume per hour is a good rule of thumb (don't forget to account for head loss due to the height difference between your sump and tank and also plumbing losses from right angle turns, etc.) I've always had very good luck with the E-heim pumps: a 1260 would be just about right for a tank that size. The Tunze pumps are good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You might consider the Eheim 3000 as well. I have the 2000 on my 32g tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reburn Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 All good suggestions. And everything wryknow said. Here is a good article for you to familiarize yourself with. You don't want to have your return pump where it will outrun your drains it's bad juju. You have not said how many returns and how many drains your tank has. That is important info. http://www.reefaquarium.com/2012/aquarium-plumbing-basics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
