Eheim 1262 should fit the bill. I run a red dragon 9 I think it is

A quiet one 4000HH but will be switching to a 9000 and adding a 45 cube.

Without knowing the headpressure and size of overflow plumbing, and # of overflows and internal vs external everyone is dealing with, then knowing what pump they're using is meaningless. Their selection of pump wouldn't be suitable for your system unless you know all the variables I mentioned.

Good submersible pumps are:
Eheim - quiet, reliable, decent energy usage, expensive, can't go wrong

Marineland Euro Utility Pumps - quiet, powerful, very good on electricity, dependable (my overall favorite based on cost, performance and dependability)

Mag Drives - extremely reliable, they use much too much electricity and put out too much heat, they saw their day and have been surpassed by better submersibles (see above), JMO

Good external pumps are:
GenX
Sequence
PanWorld
Blueline (almost a mirror image of PanWorld)
Little Giant

Since I believe you're probably using a submersible pump, I didn't go into details on the externals (I'm too tired )

I rub an Ehiem 1262 on my 65 with a 24 gallon sump. It is throttled back though.

I ran a Quiet One 4000HH for quite some time on my 75 and then I decided to build a manifold so I upgraded to a 6000. They're really good, reliable pumps in my opinion and they're really quiet. But now I have a 210G tank and I'm running a Reeflo Hammerhead on it with a manifold for a 30G fuge, 20G seahorse tank, UV sterilizer and dual return to the 210.
