Re: return pump for 90gallon

Hmm... no brand advertised.... Kinda scary. Then again, it's about half the price of a Mag 9.5. I wouldn't recommend that pump.

Re: return pump for 90gallon

Mags are good pumps, but VERY loud!

If I get another pump it will be either a Eheim or Oceanrunner. Both are extremely quite compared to the mags and I think more efficient aswell....

Re: return pump for 90gallon

It's true, an Eheim 1262 would be a much quieter and more energy efficient choice. I was going to get one for my 90, but the price of the Mag 9.5 allowed me to get a much needed filter for my FW tank at the same time. However, the price of the Eheim is 4x the price of the no name on ebay, not that that makes the no name a good deal.
