Pump recommendation?

[Shooter7]

Anyone have a specific pump they'd recommend to run a closed loop on a 10g tank? I'm not looking to blast anything. Tank would be mostly zoas, LPS, shrooms with a shallow sandbed....but eventually might have an SPS or two in it as well. Would be running a manifold type of plumbing over the back of the tank. Recommendations on whether to have 2 or 4 return openings into the tank would be appreciated as well. thanks

aaaaaaanybody at all on a pump brand/size please?

Being its external and on a small tank I would most likely go with an Eheim. How much flow are you looking to run? GPH? Or you are looking for recommendations?

I can't see needing anything more then an Eheim 1250

I'm sure others will chime in eventually.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Did a quick check on this pump over at Premium Aquatics. They've got that it has a hose barb out port. I want to run PVC out. Is there a connector or something I can get to do this?

I have an Eheim 1262 and if its anything like mine you can unthread the barb connecter and thread in a 3/4" M x 3/4" slip fitting. Call Premium Aquatics and they can verify that with the 1250
