Finally! A dead-silent return pump

[grcforce327]

my sicce syncra is dead silent.

So is my 5.0!

My Via Aqua 2600 is dead silent. Four years old and going strong.

What is an easily available and safe rubber or foam platform to put under my internal pump. I hear mouse pads but there are so many of them made of so many different materials some with paint and graphics...etc...I dont trust using a mouse pad.

My Mag 9.5 mounted on a mouse pad is also dead silent. Ive herd they are noisy But my 90 is super silent, I cant hear the sump, skimmer or return pump.

Man. Every time I think I found a nice quiet pump someone comes and says other wise.. This quiet pump hunting is getting old.

just a fyi, the Laing pumps are still available

can anyone confirm 5000 is as silent as 3000? I have ehiem 1260 to replace, quiet but vibrates, need to kill.

I can confirm my Diablo dc 10500 is as silent as the speed wave 3000 I have as well so the 5000 should be as silent.

I can't wait for the DC power trend to take hold. By nature the DC pumps are quieter and use less power. Good to hear that you're happy with your pump. I may make the switch to DC soon as well.

Definitely going to get me one of those! Thanks for sharing!

Salty Supply is showing as of today the DC3000 as out of stock and 'discontinued'. They have listed a DC4000 for 30 extra bucks with 'details coming soon' and a 'new product' label. I am curious to hear user's experiences on the 4000

I was looking into the Eheim 1262 because it is regarded as quiet but I believe I am with you. I will have this tank in my living room to the left of my couch. I would say about 3 - 4 feet from me. Would that pump be too loud for you in my set up?

 

[sweet ride]

am still running a Poseidon/Velocity T4 I believe and I can tell you am willing to put this side by side with any other pump out there for it's quietness.

on a side note I have heard good things about the DC pumps!

 

[cheezischrist]

i have a mag 18 that made the most god awful wracket , until i got a silicone pot holder and put it under it and up the side where it was toching a baffle. i have to check to make sure its running now all the time because its older and i don't know how much more life it has lol.dc return pump is my next planned investment though

I can attest that the Diablo DC 10500 is barely audible at full power.
