MAg Drive pump

[senormatt]

Hey what does everyone think about a mag drive 1200 to supply my 90 gal with overflow?
Are they any good?
Also is 1200 gph good for a return pump?
Thanks,
Matt

If it's just one overflow I think it's more pump than you need.

Case and point. I have an Allglass Aquarium with 1 overflow.I have a 9.5 Mag Drive on mine and its to much. I only have about 2.5 feet from the sump to the DT. I had to direct some of the flow back to my return section in my sump. I would suggest you figure out your head pressure and then look at something smaller. You can get the rest of your flow from PHs.

yes it is a single overflow. the distance will be between 3 and 4 feet
