Thoughts ?
I am considering the quiet one 1200 $46.95.
Eheim Compact Pump 1000 $36.95
Danner Mag-Drive 250 Supreme Water Pump $62.95

Eheim and Mag are great pumps...
In that level of turn over the Eheim will do you fine and save 30$ to spend else where on this build up!
My skimmers are always in the first chamber in my sumps .... If that's any help at all.
Btw, great thinking, sumps are so much more beneficial to your tank!
Good Luck n Keep Posting!!!
