   Figured I would throw this up here before I go out and buy one. I am looking for a small pump something 50-100gph to run a reactor.
   
   
   Thanks!

   Do you have to go that small?

   Ideally, it is going to be running a ZEO reactor and I don't need much flow for the small amount of stones I will be running. I have a MJ1200 but it gets loud when i try to throttle it back.

   Go to Menards in the garden section they have the small Tetra pond pumps cheap. I bought the 140 gph one and it runs my GFO reactor perfectly wide open. I've used it to do my water changes for last few years and then bought the reactor and needed a pump.I think it was only like $20. Works great.

   I have a plethora of Eheim Compact 1000 pumps. They have a slider valve to adjust the flow from 40-265 GPH. I also have a couple smaller Eheim pumps.
