Justin,

I am using the maxijet 1200 and I find that works well.

I just ordered the pacific coast 1/10 with a mag 350. The recommened rate is usually 300-600 gph. In my opinion you can't go wrong with mag drives, but you could go cheaper, it's up to you. A maxijet 1200 might work, but i understand that it minimizes it's efficiency. HTH

It is a 240w Via Aqua max size, 75 gallons - works well on my 92 and bought it from a guy who had it on a 150

Can't find a listing on HP rating or GPH

Just to update, i changed the pump from a mag3 to a mag 5. That's the right combo.
