return pump

[nitro069]

I have a 75 gallon tank and am looking to upgrade my return pump. I currently have a maxijet 1800 return and don't think it provides quite enough flow, plus i am thinking of adding a fuge and need to tee off the the return to feed the fuge.

What would be a good size replacement pump with low wattage, good flow and generates little heat.

thanks.

a mag 12 should do you good, but its 110 watts i believe...
maybe even a mag 9

I'm running a mag 7 on my 90. It replaced a rio 2500. Works well

water blaster... great pump.. low watts.. 3 year warranty... i use a hy 5000 on my 100 gal and can easily run a reactor or 2...1300 gph/ 60 watts

Catalinas are good 'bang-for-your-buck" pumps. they always have sales on. many different models to choose from on their site. I've been using them for years.

The 5000 is what i have in mine.  Plumbed into a manifold with 2 reactors    You can prolly run the 10000.  These are available at the coral reef store
