What return pump for a 90g rr?

[jdiddy8384]

I've been thinkin about getting a tunze silence pump for my return, but not sure. Haven't really heard anything about them. I've had mag pumps in the past and like them but they are energy hogs. I know ehiem, quiet one and ocean runner are some other options. Just would like some opinions. Thanks

The Eheim 1260 is perfect for your 90 gallon. It's almost indestructible and runs very <b>quiet</b> and <b>cool</b>. I love this pump.

The Quiet One is anything but quiet. The Mag is indeed an energy hog and runs hot. The Ocean Runner is decent, but some people have restart problem.

Looks like a eheim is gonna be the one. Has anyone used or even seen a tunze silence pump? The Eheim 1260 and the Tunze Recirculation Pump/Powerhead Silence 1073.020 both pump 634gph. The Eheim runs at 65w and the Tunze runs at 30w. Thats a big difference. This is the only thing keeping me from ordering. Thanks for the replies.

I did not look at any others at the time mainly because when I bought my sump it came with the 1260.
