If your asking about the size of return pump then Kipass has good advice. If your talking about the Powerhead that is needed to keep the CPR overflow from losing syphon then any type of power head that has a venturi connection will do, personally I use Maxi jets. Just hook the little rubber hose on the overflow to the powerhead and the powerhead will create enough suction to draw out any air buildup in the CPR overflow. And you must do this or your overflow will lose syphon and your tank will overflow.
