Hello All

I'm looking to get a good return pump for a 90 gallon (reef ready) AGA. problem is that the return hole in the overflow on the 90 only allows me to put a 3/4 bulkhead. can anyone recommend me a good pump with a 3/4" output.

Your help is greatly appreciated

I would go with a MAG if you can, I really like them. I am running 2 MAG5 drves and they pump great. I also use 3/4 for each return.

Depends on what size drain hole. If it's a 1" you should get a pump that would not exceed 600 gph after head pressure. If it's a 3/4", then it shouldn't exceed 300.

I'm happy with my Iwaki. I have a 1"1/4 to the W/D and 3/4 back to the tank. I'm using a WMD30RLT but I had to slow the flow down. A WMD20RLT would be a good one with a ball valve to adjust the flow.
