Best return pump...

[El Dude]

So I'm chilling at OGFrenchHorn's pad and we're having a heated debate over which return pump I should order for my 150g. This is going nowhere so I'm opening the floor for discussion.

Which is the best return pump for a 150g? Considering: flow, price point, reliability and all that good stuff.

Here's a quick shot of his tank...

People here swear by Laguna's. I like Eheim.

If u want lots of flow, go laguna. I'm running the laguna 2400 on my 180 and it's a beast. Literally makes 0 noise.

I actually like my mag12. But for a 150 I'd use 2...

Oh yeah submersible. I forgot to mention that huh? FAIL!

Laguna, you wont regret it

I believe the 2400GPH is a 100 watts? Great pumps i have a 4200gph @ 160 watts.

I would go with the new blowhole.

 

[SchnitzelReef]

Has to be submersible. Laguna 2400gph@100w.

It is using a Laguna 2400 for my 120. I would have been fine with the 1500 or 2000. The 2400 was cheaper then the other two models
