Return Pump

After 13 years, my Iwaki Return pump died. Obviously need to get a new pump. Since I haven’t bought a pump in a while, was wondering if I should stick with Iwaki or go with something different. Any opinions on Little Giant? Tank is 180g with a 55g sump. At one time, tank was a full reef, but now only a FOWLR. In the future it may be a zoanthid tank. Any opinions are appreciated.

Thanks

Iwaki are great pumps. A little power hungry but the longevity is there.

Not much better than an Iwaki. I have the MD-100rlt as I have a lot of head pressure
