Good brand pumps?

i need a 800 gph pump for my 75 g sump system and i have a mag drive 5 in my sump currently for my 45g(upgrading)so i wanted another mag drive but i don't think they come in 8s. Any good brands?

 

Reef octopus water blaster.

 

Eheim.

 

Water Blaster, Ocean Runner or Eheim are my choices. I have used both of the latter two with great results and am considering the former as a replacement in the future.

 

Eheims are awesome... but expensive. I have had great results from the Maxi-jet Utility pumps.

 

hows danner?

 

Isn't Danner the same company as Mag?

If so, I'd say they are reliable. I've had my Mag 3 for more than 3 years without any issues. Good pump, but not the most energy efficient. Eheims are a much better pump if you are looking at long term energy savings. If the Mag 3 ever dies, I'd go Eheim to replace it as the initial cost will be made up over time in the amount of electricity saved.

 

Danner Mags run hot, use more power than many others and are noisy as all get out but reliable. I would look for one of the ones I suggested, lower power consumption, much less heat transfer to the water and almost silent. A return pump runs 24/7/365 so get the most efficient you can afford, it will pay for itself over time.

 

I use a MaxJet Utility pump and its been solid. I can't be more happy with it.

 

Eheim!!! Mine runs quiet and cool! Got a great deal on it by signing up for a BRS group buy. Keep an eye out for one and you can get a pretty good deal.
