New Pump
 

This is off my post about "Timer / Temperature Controller"...

Everyone told me to be careful using a pond pump due to the metal parts, and
sure enough, the pump I was looking at was full of them. The water flow on
my tank is no where near what I want it at. For a 100 gallon tank and a 4
foot lift from the sump, are there any suggestions on pump brands and sizes?

Also, I know there was a post about a good online store, but I can't seem to
find it. Could someone please mention that again? (Anywhere in the USA will
work).

TIA

Are you refering to the "MagDrive" brand name? I found them, and I like the
prices, but any sugguestions on what kind of water flow I should have?

Ken,

I spent a lot of effort studying this. Look at this link. It will help you
pick a pumkp no matter the brand.

BTW, Dolphin, Iwaki, and Mag are all good pumps.
