Return Pump

I'm looking for a return pump to use with a 600 gph overflow. If you have one for sale let me know.

What are you looking for internal or external?I have a genx pcx-30 which is external rated at 825gph used on a skimmer for about 6 months $75

Sorry I took so long to respond. I'm looking for something internal. Is the one that have internal? Also can it be dialed down cause it might be too strong for the overflow, I could be wrong. I'm pretty new to this stuff.

get a mag 9, or a mag 7,

the mag 7 might be enough flow though the sump. you want more flow coming from your power heads in the tank, not the return.

The mag7 looks pretty good and its not as much as other pumps. Thanks for the links. Since its now a 30 gallon should I go with something smaller than a mag 7?
