Your current return pump is too weak for your tank. Eheim makes very good and durable pumps so your selection is good. However good pumps don't come cheap. Price difference of your current pump and the Eheim 5000 will be significantly large. You may also consider something in between like DD h2ocean 5000 which is quite compact but reasonably powerful.

Difference as in which one better n strong..

I believe 1264 Shd b the better pump as its more expensive..but the specs are lower than compact +5000..so I was thinking issit that 1264 got lesser headloss than the other?..appreciate all experiences n knowledges..

Both are just as good. 1264 has a fixed flow rate & bigger footprint, compact 5000 has adjustable flow rate & smaller. If u ask me, I will opp for dd 5000. Almost same rating as compact 5000, yet lower in price.

Ok thks alot..I believe most are having the pump in the sump although the pump is universal..I think its lesser trouble as in no need to drill hole on sump..lesser chance of leakage..run in sump can cool the pump thus prolong its running hours..

1264 & compact 5000 the price diff is a lot..woo..
