I am looking for internal pump for a wet dry Eshopps WD-200CS. Other than a RIO 3100, what other brands do you recommend? Where to buy? Please list all contact info. Thank you.
 
Eheim also makes the Compact+ series and they are awsome...a bit pricey though. I would also recommend QuietOne series of pumps by LifeGard, very good pumps. ReefFlo, Dolphin and Iwaki all are good...again, pricey. Shop the best for your money. In other words, determine how much you are willing to spend and then go from there.
The sump you have can be made to have an external pump but internal pumps are easier to set up.
Drsfosterandsmith.com, thatfishplace.com, petsolutions.com, marinedepot.com, bigalsonline.com,.....the list is endless. Google.
 
You can find much more efficient pumps than the Mag 18. I've never had one, but I have heard people say they are noisy.

In addition to the recommendations above, check out the Coral Vue Reef Octopus Waterblaster lineup of pumps.

With whatever pump you decide on, you could run two smaller pumps so that in the event that one of them dies, the other is still providing some circulation.

It looks like that filter has a max flow rating of 1,000GPH. Just make sure the pump(s) you get does not exceed 1,000GPH at the amount of head pressure you are working with. You don't want to run into a situation where your pump overwhelms your overflow, basically sucking your sump dry and potentially overflowing your display tank. Good luck.
