Mag pump for the return on my Deep Blue 30 gallon with sump!

[Coralreefer1]

Hi reefers,
I was wondering which Mag pump would work the best for my return from my sump stored underneath the tank?
I was thinking the 9.5, 7 or the 5.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Tom

If you haven't brought a pump yet I would look into one of the Eheim Pumps instead.

Are they any different? Price? effectiveness?

The Eheim pumps are more quiet, reliable and last forever. As for price, they do cost some what more but you get what you pay for.

Dude I have a deep blue 30g frag tank and I have the eheim 1262 best pump ever! I have so much flow from it that my mp10 is ramped down to only 1/4% of its power

I use a mag 7 to mix my make up water normally about 25 gals. It takes the water to about 85 degrees.
