Optimal Return Pump for 92G Corner???

It's an Oceanic. What should I use? 9.5 Mag? I think I'll be going with with a 36" Sunpod for lighting and a couple of MJ 1200's with hydro-flos for tank circulations. Any suggestions re: equipment would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

Is it an internal overflow? Will you have 2 drains or one drain?

one.

mag 9.5 has been my choice of return pump for the last seveal years. Never let me down and they are decently cheap.

I would go wit an ehiem 1262 . A lot less heat added to your tank and a more reliable pump. Not to mention you can use one inch plumbing on the eheim . Mags do not handle the head created by pipe friction well at all and will require larger plumbing.

check this calculator out to compare pumps for your needs:

I would then refer to marinedepot dot com to see which pumps you're willing to shell the bucks out for.

I personally love the Iwakis and would rather invest on a good pump up front than pay for another one in a year or two...
