Quietest pump recommendations

[erictck]

Guys,

I'm sure you have lots of experience with different pumps. I was wondering if you there are any recommendations on the pumps that quiet? very low humming sound...

Quiet enough that it doesn't disturb you while you are enjoying your movies?

My tank is just beside the sofa, so I really appreciate a quiet pump. Pls advice.

Regards,

Eric

Red Dragon is really quiet. But it is expensive.

If you want to tone down the volume of your pump, try placing some sponge underneath it.

Get those harder ones as those that are used for cleaning are too soft and the problem will still persist

humming sounds could be from the pipes ?

As it was sadi Red Dragons are teh most quiet pumps, you should stack your ear next to if you like to be sure it work, besides comparate RD energy consuption with any other same rated flow pump and you will see how much you save on electicity.

Ocean runners are also good pumps, but also as it was aid, do not conect the return via hard PVC, at least joint to outlet should be soft hose.
