Need a good return pump

[marlinmero]

Im thinking about gettin a new return pump. i currently have a mag with about 3' of head on it"roughly over" so im guessing i only have like 300gph or so of filtration. thinking about trying to step that up to about 500 gph. thinkin something like a mag6? what other pumps are out there that might be better and use less power? IT has to be submersible

Eheim 1260 would put out around 500gph+. Would be more $$ up front but less power consumption and they don't heat up the water as much.
