need a quiet 300gph pum please.

davidchmaus · 03/04/2010, 11:22 AM

I installed a new Mag 5 on my 40 gallon sump last night. I was kind of hoping for it to be quietier. Its the low freq hum that I can hear in the other rooms even with the door shut. I am building a 25 gallon cube rimless for our bedroom and need the quietest pump that will do around 300 at 3' (Submersed)

Thanks!

I have an Eheim 1250 that was making a hum as well but it turns out it, it is due to the pump resting on plain glass (vibration was making the noise). So, I placed an algae scraper pad in between (cut it into size) and solved the problem - you can't even tell it's on.
