suggested overflow and return pump

Hi,
We have used both the CPR and the Marine Life Aquatics unit. We have found the CPR's to be very reliable as long as they are used in conjuction with a venturi powerhead to stay primed. The MLA do not need the venturi pump, but they are also a "J Tube" style overflow. They typically do not flow as fast versus the CPR units, but they are less prone to collecting air bubbles in the top of the syphon. For a return pump it really depends on what you want to do, if you just want to drop in a single elbow return or run it through a SCWD, or Seaswirl, etc. Let me know how you plan on putting it back in.

I would take a look at the Mag7, or if you have a little more room the Sen700. If you are wanting something that is external take a look at the new PanWorld line of pumps.... http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...een=CTGY&Store_Code=PA&Category_Code=Panworld If you have any questions please let us know!

great! I just did my taxes so I will be in to get the Euroreef (hopefully) next fri or sat. I hope to get a return pump as well. Do you have the valves I'd need or would those be at home depot? I forgot to mention that I'd like to make another T off of the main return line with a valve so I can flip a valve and have water drain into a bucket for water changes. Do you guys have something I'd put into the tank for return flow?
