Default pumps

Looking for submersible or dry pump. What is the best brand out there in the market? Any recommendation and could you kindly state your reasons.....eg, pump is very quite, efficient, lower dissipating of heat in long hour operation etc etc...also in term of pricing...

Many thanks in advance.

For a start, see here: http://www.eaquanature.com/store/default.php?cPath=42
More popular brands are Iwaki, Eheim, Rio etc. For a return pump, flowrate around 5000-6000 L/hr shld be used.
I am using Rio 20HF: 5400l/h, 3.3m, 50W

Since you want a reliable, efficient and low wattage pump then get the ... RED DRAGON

Another alternative is Aquabee ...
