Quiet One 4000 for CL pump?

frank551 · 11/11/2006, 08:20 PM

I like this pump for my future CL due to it's low power consumption (50w). All the other external only pumps draw at least twice that for the same GPH (1190).

I tried to find a Blueline NS-800 to no avail.

Any other suggestions of low draw pums in the 1kGPH range?

This is for a Melev-style CL in a 70g.

No, I don't want to keep any SPS other than the couple of Monti frags I already have.

I u sed a QO 3000 and 4000 in CL system and it works fine.
I drilled instead of doing the "priming" kind of CL.
They are fine, and seems to be reliable.

it's .79 amps which isnt a small number to what they claim to thier watts

Using my Kill-A-Watt meter, my QO3000 measures 36 watts on a closed loop.
