Currently I've got an external eheim 1250 pump (rated at 320 gph), which is pulling water from the tank and pushing it through my chiller and back into the tank. I've also got another Via pump in the tank itself as the eheim, for one reason or another, is barely pushing any water circulation into the tank. I've been thinking about replacing the eheim pump with a new higher powered external pump, which I could split two ways in the tank and I would take out the Via pump all together. The goal is to reduce clutter in the tank and also get more flow and surface agitation coming from both sides of the tank. So the question then comes to which pump is best for me. I'd like to go something at least 700 GPM I think. I was considering eheim again, but I'm open to suggestions. I'd rather not spend over approx. $130.00 if possible.
Looking for a new external pump... recommendations?

I use a Mag Drive 9.5 external and it runs good, quite, and pushes a lot of water.
