    Anyone own one of the Silence 1073.020? i want to use on for my main return on my 90 gal. i was going to go with a 1260 but this pump is like 60 dollers cheaper and on paper they are almost the same.

    I use all the tunze silence pumps. But not for return. To small for that. But a smaller tank like yours, why not. I feed refug art and reaktors with mine. IMHO tunze is quality

    I use that one for the return on my 50 gallon. I love it. However, I think the .20 is not enough for your tank. Look into something that is at least 900 gph.

    xmetal do you have any suggestions? there .40 is like 792 at 42w any thing in the 900gph range puts out double the wattage.

    I will be purchasing an eheim 1262 in the near future. They are pricy but great pumps.
