Check out the Fluval SEA series. For your application sp4 or sp6. Internal or external, silent, low power consumption compared to others, and 3 year warranty.

Now that its Monday and there are a few more peeps on anyone else have any thoughts? Still leaning toward the Waveline DC 12000, anyone else have one and do they like it? or have an opinion on a better pump?

Mike, I've been real happy with my Reeflo pump.
I run the Barracuda Gold on my system and it powers it all. No hiccups, 2.5 years now.
Not sure why really but I'm not sold on the DC pumps, especially if they are chinese made.
The ones I've had seem more affected by head height too.
Not the quietest though! I can definitely hear the hum on the other side of the wall.
Tank and sump room look great, btw.

Just want external pump because of heat issues. That and I am building a new sump to add volume to the system.
