The magnum is a Marinland product and pumps 250 gph. You should have a pump that puts our at least 5x the volume of water that is in you tank. If you outfit the filter media properly it should be ok if it is sized properly.

mdg - The gph of the filter pump is minimul, however, if all else is working it could do the job. If you are determined to get anothe one I would suggest at least a 350 gph. --
