Elos Silent Flow model SF11000 DC Controllable Pump.
$300
This pump is for sale and has not been used in saltwater.
It was used in a freshwater sump for a short time.
It's clean and in excellent condition.
The pump is rated for 2905gph.
Inlet Diameter 1.5"
Outlet Diameter 1.25"
Maximum Head 5.6m

It has a Soft Start: pump gradually increases flow rate until the set value is reached.
It can be ramped up or down by single 1% changes on the controller.
Internal Memory: settings are retained even in the event of power failure.
The blue display will show the wattage used as well as the pumps power usage in percentage increments.
The threads are standard, so it will fit standard plumbing out of the box.
Elos calls it their silent pump, but I would not say that it is as quiet as my M1 Vectra.
If you are looking for a truly silent pump the Vectra M1 and the COR series would be the way to go.
This Elos SF11000 has a light "whir" to it at higher speeds, but would serve well in a stand with doors on it.
My only gripe with the pump was that it is not truly a dead silent pump.
Lastly, I can make a youtube video of the pump running and its operation.
It was purchased new (fall of 2017, August) from an aquarium supply store in the Carolinas that carries the Elos brand of DC pumps.
Search for or google Landedinmyeye (Flickr username) will show the history of when I brought it home.
