Pump recommendations?

[six.line]

I'll bet setting up a 125 gallon display with a ~50 gallon sump.

Return pump ideas? I'm shooting for an optimization of low power consumption, quietness (is that a word?) and longevity. I'm willing to spend the extra fifty bucks if that means any of three things:

1.) It's more quiet than the rest
2.) I don't need to replace it in a year or two
3.) It runs on 30W less of power than the other models

I would go for an Ehiem pump. They are very good.

Eheim 1260 should be the ticket.

What about the 1262?

Eheim enough flow for a 6" 125 tank?

Plenty for a return pump. A 125G needs ~ 375 - 625 GPH from the return. A 1260 would do it, 1262 would be on the high side.
