Good pump?

[yamaha racer]

I'm looking for a return pump, I've been in and out of the hobby a lot. I just got back from my honemyoon in hawaii and it made us both want to get the tank/tanks going. I'm looking for a pump 300-400gph. I have a mag 5 now and it's to much flow and loud as hell. I am looking at quiet one, but I'm not to sure cause they were there bomb back in the day, now idk. Let me know what y'all think looking to but today

Nothing but Eheim, there are many choices in their compact series.
Cheap and reliable.

i got a jeabo dc 9000 for my 90 gallon tank, love it, you could get away with the 3000. I used to have a mag 12, and it was night and day when i changed over. Jeabo is quiet, smooth start up mode, feeding mode, easy to control flow rate. low power usage.

Totally agree!! been using my Jebao for over 2 years, you can get replacment impellers for $15 on ebay.

+1 jebao DC. Mine has been solid for 2+ years.

 

[Reefer_Addickt]

+1 Jebao DC , been using one for 3 years now. Variable speed and really quiet.

U guys are getting kinda crazy, just a 10 gallon with a 5.5g sump....

 

[scuzy]

get the jebao DCT series or the newer one DCS

 

[yamaha racer]

Dammit! I got the jebao dc3000. $75 on eBay, couldn't say no. Still don't know how low the flow goes, hope it's low enough, but now I have a pump for larger tanks.
Btw, this is going in a 10g with a 5.5g sump...

Run it on 1 and divert flow back to sump if needed. You could also make an manifold to run any reactors off it.
