Closed Loop Pump Recommendation

[toy4x4]

I want to put a closed loop pump on my tank so I can take out these dang powerheads. I have a 55 gallon tank and the pump will be below the tank 47". Not sure what the good brands are, what flow rate and what a reasonable price is. I'm wanting to spend around $100 but could go more if really necessary.

an Iwaki would probably be the best bet, but for a whole lot less money you could get a mag drive.

The mag's can be hard plumbed in

You have one biker? Is it pretty quiet?

Does that space age design come in handy? :wink:

Have you thought about installing a SQWD? It would produce some nice alternating current using a closed loop.

Nope, What is that? I'll try searching also.

Looks good, just how much flow do I want in a 55 gal close loop? The more the better? I'm thinking about a Mag 9.5 drive.

toy4x4,

I am running two Sen 900's in my 60. I like them very much.
