Sump Pump

[Allen]

Can anyone give me recommendations on a sump pump ?

I have a 30 UK Gallon tank, above a 15 gallon sump.

I just bought the skimmer, all I need now is the pump to return the water to the tank.

The top of the display tank is 5 foot above the bottom of the sump tank.

Im in the UK.

5 foot huh? If you were in the States I'd advise a Danner Mag 5 or 7. Not sure if you can get a hold of those reliably in the UK. You could get an eheim 1260. Unfortunately a 1250 is probably a little too undersized, and the 1260 perhaps a little oversized. Dunno what you can get in the UK though. Something in the 10ft head range is where you'll want to be

there are some more eheim compacts that look like they'll be coming out soon, they look good cause the flow is adjustable.

I'm ordering a 1250 'cause I only need a 4foot head.
