I am building s wet dry system for a friends 75g. It has the built in overflow in the corner with a 1" hole (i think) drilled in the bottom. I was thinking of flowing about 350 gph hes only doin tetras and stuff like that. What recommendations on pumps do we have?
 
I'll go ahead and cover most of the answers: Little giant and magdrive
I like little giant pumps but i'm going to try a mag drive on my new tank.
 
I have a mag 9.5 on its way to me now. how much head will you have on the return? If its a lot you may want a little more than a 350.
 
Eheim is more expensive but SILENT and dependable. Mag Drives are O.K. but not as quiet after a while. Also, they aren't quite as dependable (usually only on re-start, etc.), but they're a good value...... probably fine for most applications.

If it means anything, I've replaced all my Rios, Mags, etc. with Eheims.......
