[blitz69]

Its a 125 gal rr tank. Just got my light fixture yesturday and my sump refugium is being custom built by kevin at All About Fish. (Should be don't next week) and going to buy my skimmer saturday. Reef octopus xp2000 I will keep y'all posted with pics as I get new equipment. If anyone can recomend a good return pump, and ideas on how to plum this.. or if any of u have a used return and looking to sell please let me know. Thanx

for internal return pumps:
you can go with eheim 1260 or 1260 (van be external too)
or
Quiet One 3000
or
Tunze Recirculation Pump/Powerhead Silence 1073.040

they some more higher end pumps, but i do not know your budget.

since the tank is reef ready, i think durso setup will be your only option. they are a few mods to this design to silence as well.

another option is to sorta do a retro beananimal like i am doing on my 220 build.

for externals the ehiem works great, or you can go with panworld, the quiet one, and iwaki.
those are the ones that are on the minimal scale. for higher end super quiet, the price will really go up. red dragon, velocity t4 or less.
to name a few.

From the looks of thing the velocity t4 pump was discontinued from the manufacture. Any idea y? I really liked the price for it.
