AGA120 gal return pump advice needed

[bnplu]

I'm setting up a 120 gal . I am going to run the plumbing to the basement where the sump/ fuge and a frag tank will be set up. The return will be approx 15 foot head with one check valve and two 90 degree bends in it. I'm going to use flex PVC. Total water volume will be 170 gal. I thought of using an Iwaki but what size should I go with? Is there a better pump for this application? Any advice would be appreciated

I have a 120 AGA on my first floor and a 100 gallon sump with a 30 gallon frag tank in the basement. I have 12 feet up to the tank and 15 feet across the basement to get to the tank. I am using a Gen X (Mak4 ) pump and love it. I also use a Lifereef over flow and I actually had to tee off the return due to too much flow up. My opinion .........Great Pump.

By the way I'm using 1.5" for both ways, up and down.

nait002,
Thanks! Which model of the Gen X are you using? How long have you used it? I'm going to google it and check it out.

Take a look at the Panworld 150PS

Thanks all for the input. Both type of pumps look good and the price is right. Now it's time for me to make a decision........
