Yo bro....The one I'm using in my system should do ya fine. It's a Via Aqua pump and is doing a killer job with my system. It comes with an adjustable flow valve and a bunch of misc. fittings. Here's the link.....

grizz, I've got atleast 10 of those Via Aqua pumps that Pro was referring to and have had only one fail over the past 2 years, it's a good pump and reasonably priced.

Remember grizz, your better off buying two----you'll need the spare if one in service goes out for whatever reason.

Iwaki is a good Japanese made pump. Buy 2 but install them both. Use a flow sw, one bites the dust(has not happened in 3 years 24/7) the other kicks in. I like to use a little larger pump to get better flow rates helps to flush salts. I also have a bypass valve that returns to my rez to help aerate. If the water fall is not too noisy you can use the water pump to replace an air pump in the rez.I ordered mine from custom aquatics. Suerte JK
