A good quality, quiet pump?

[escape2thewater]

What brand pump would fit this description? I have been running mag drive pumps for 2 years but they are very noisy! I am planning on doing some upgrades next year when I move so who makes a good quality pump that is also quiet?
Thanks,
Escape

Been using a Quiet One pump for a return on my 125 and am very happy with it. Comparable in price to mag pumps, but much quieter.

Yes I run 2 queit one 3000 pumps on my 210 reef very queit can't here them under the stand even. But I enclosed the sump portion and sprayed Queit Kote on the inside of the stand also.

Quiet Kote is a material that comes in a spray can. Originally made for automotive and marine use. You can find it in many auto parts stores or online

If you have a chiller you can run the T4 (or P4 Posiden) they are very quiet but will heat your tank over other pumps however you will never hear them.

How big of a tank are we talking about? Are you looking for an external or submersible pump? For external pumps I recommed an Iwaki, blueline, or little giant. I don't have much experience with submersibles, but I hear oceanrunner pumps run quietly. What size mag pump are you running?
