recommend a pump for the MRC-2

I have an MRC-2 and currently I'm using a gen-x pcx55 and I absolutely hate this pump. It leaks, vibrates, clangs and is louger than anything. I want to get a quieter pump and one that will work with this skimmer.

Please help me out, Andy at MRC recommended a Blueline? any thoughts?

Could you go internal? I use the GenX8400 and it does a great job and is really quiet.

ezhoops,

blueline / panworld either (same)

single beckett 150ps
dual beckett 200ps

internal will be quieter, but the performance will suffer greatly, no pressure rated pumps internally, no noise, because of lack of fan, ect.

internal is not an option. No matter what you tell me about Gen-x pumps I will never own one again. I'm sure their great pumps but I had a bad situation with one and won't go with one again.
