I was about to pull my aquarium out of our bedroom because it was so loud. I figured out that I had way too much flow on the returns. I put a ball valve in and got it damn near silent. The only thing is I got it choked down 75%. Is it hard on the pump? I'm thinking about going to Eheim 3000 compact. I got that for my skimmer and it is DEAD SILENT. Like I can't tell it's on silent. I can hear a hum from the 1260.
