Return pump for a 100 gallon system?

[makofury]

Hey, just wanted to know of a good submersible return pump for my friend's 100 gallon tank. ViaAqua? Rio? ViaAqua is out of stock at the place we want to buy so we're looking for alternatives. It's just gonna sit in the sump, basic setup, nothing special. Just something that's reliable. Thx.

Rio Don't go there.
I like my mag drive.

I have had a bad time with rio's. Even though my Mag 9.5 just died i think this is the rare case. I would get a Mag. HTH

go with a mag and forget about a rio, the price is nice but you get what you pay for.

I use an Iwaki 40RT on my 100g, but that is an in-line pump, not submersible.
Mag's seem to be the most popular submersible.

Go with an external Iwaki or Dolphin amp master 2100 would be a good choice.
