    There are a lot of types and plenty of places to buy.
    What return rate do you want? 1 overflow or 2? External pump or submersible (in-sump)?

    Ok, well you could go with something like a RIO they have anywhere from 138 to 900 gallons per hour. They run nice and quiet too.

    Aquarium Water Current: Rio Plus Aqua Water Pumps

    You could also get a Mag drive, which are more expensive, but have threaded inlets and outlets.

    It's really up to you, you just need to determine the flow you are after and how much you want to spend.
