Quiet pump looking for opinions?

skimmer01 · 12/29/2006, 11:53 PM

I am looking for an extreemly quiet pump for my 20 gallon sump. I am looking for something with a 400 to 550 return rate with 5 feet of head presure. I am using tubing from the pump to the return nozle so there are no hard angles such as 90 degree elbows. I am currently running a resun and it is too loud for the living room. Any opinions would be apreceiated. Thanks

I too want to know what people think about that. I am currently running a Mag5 and it might as well be a Mack Truck five. I have my tank in my bed room (on the second floor) and I can hear the pump in my living room below the bed room. I don't think that this is going to cut it for me. I just hear huuuuummmmm. Any one who could help would be a god send.
