Quiet Return Pumps

[icedearth15324]

I have a 75g tank with dual outputs from a 30g sump. I currently have a danner mag 9.5, and this is replacing a Taam Rio 17HF. I replaced the Rio cause it was kind of noisy. At first the Mag 9.5 was quiet, but once it broke in it began making a louder humming noise, on top of the regular pump sounds.

Does anyone have any recommendations on quiet return pumps? These would need to be in-sump returns. I need it to be in the 850-1100 gph range.

Eheim pumps are silent and bulletproof.

Eheims are the way to go, for sure! Very quiet return pumps, and they'll last forever if you maintain them.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'll look at the eheims.
