Best pump for CL.

30reef · 06/07/2008, 11:09 PM

I am in need of a new pump for a CL. It is on a 30g fish only tank and will push water through a small inline chiller on it's way back to the tank. I was looking for something in the 500-600 gph range. It does need to be quiet and not put all of it's heat into the water. The suction side of the CL is 1".

Right now, I am using a QuietOne 2200, but it rattles and is not very dependable in the long run. The pump I am looking for needs to run day in and day out without failing. (I guess that is what everyone's return pump needs to do...silly me for saying that)

Any suggestions?

Eheim or Ocean Runner are both good choices for your scenario. Not much else that size will run very quiet externally.
