10g nano return pump ?

[Vanquishxxxx]

i am making a 10g nano with a built in sump. I woudl like to know if a maxi 1200 would be create enough flow as a return??? or should i use a mag 3?

I use a mag 5 in mine w/o any problems. But my returns are 3/4 so I lose a lot of the pressurized flow, but still get plenty of flow w/o blowing sand every where.

Am I reading this correctly?? You use a a Mag5 in a 10 gallon?? Thats ~45 watts of heat. I had trouble with a MJ1200 heating a nano and the MJs only 1/2 the watts. R
