ok so my mag 9.5 pump burnt out...so my sump is running with a utility pump i use for waterchanges...What pump should i get?

Its a 180gallon tank...with a 75g sump...my stocklist is going to be pretty heavy when they all get bigger..

Thanks in advance
 
Depends on your overflow setup. You dont want to waste money on getting too big of a pump, only to have to slow the flow with a ball valve.

If you like the mag drives, id get a mag 12-18.

But that depends on overflow size/type, and distance from bottom of the sump to the top rm of the tank.
 
im not home right now...but im pretty sure the overflows are 1 inch and the returns are 1/2 inch...i could be wrong thoo...theres 2 overflows and 2 returns
