I am looking for one that starts at about 900 gph but I don't want to spend a small fortune on it. I just upgraded my wet dry filter and need another pump to get it working properly. Is there any place online that had good deals?

Thanks.
 
go on ebay and search "aquarium pump." there are some pretty good deals on there.
 
It may take awhile to wade through all the "incredible" offers, but you can find deals on used equipment on Craigs List every now and again.
 
I agree, you should check amazon. They have very good prices. You could probably find a decent deal on a Mag 9.5, which would give you the flow you want and be a reliable pump.
 
Home Depot

or Google "Utility Pumps"

You can find a 3,000GPH sump pump for $109.99

Just stay away from Dolphin pumps,they are garbage i purchase 1 for my 3000 g @ 500 dollars it was no good ,had it exchanged and the replacement unit is worse, its called an amp master
 
I bought my most recent pump from Foster and Smith Aquatics. It's a Taam Rio HyperFlow Aqua Pump 12HF, and I got it for a bit under $40. They have some larger pumps that fit your needs and don't break the bank, so you may want to check those out. They also have free shipping on orders over $49, so that's a nice bonus!

Here's the gph for the pumps that will meet or exceed your needs (based on how much tubing you have on the pump):

  • Model 17HF
    • 1090 gph @ 1'
    • 840 gph @ 4'
    • 660 gph @ 6'
  • Model 26HF
    • 1590 gph @ 1'
    • 1350 gph @ 4'
    • 1140 gph @ 6'
  • Model 32HF
    • 1920 gph @ 1'
    • 1500 gph @ 4'
    • 1300 gph @ 6'
