1264 should be good. I using also. Tesino I using also. But have one bad experience last year. Pump suddenly cannot work. No replacement part

I'm using 2x eheim 1264 for my 6/2.5/2.5. It's not enough at 4500l/hr each. Thinking to changing already.

Only Downside that thier insump Pumps ..Kinda looking for Externa Pumps

Agreed. Which somewhat contribute to higher temperature.

Eheim is a good choice but the maximum flowrate is 4500l/h on the 1264. And that's before head loss.

Anyone Heard Of Laguna Water Pumps?..

Laguna pumps should be made in Italy. They are typically for pond and fountain setup. I have seem then being used in large freshwater aquariums. So you need to check if they are suitable for saltwater.

jebao pumps,although made in china, i'v been using 2 for almost 1 year and still running strong. the look is awful, but low power consumption. drawing 40+Watts for 5000L pump.

one thing about pumps is, do not turn them on and off frequently..

+1 on Tesino. Low wattage. Been running for 1year+ and still silent.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
