Pump suggestions for a closed loop

[davidryder]

I currently have a mag 9.5 on a closed loop and a Panworld 50PX-X (1110 gph) supplying the tank and skimmer (~60% tank, ~40% skimmer).

I was considering changing out the mag 9.5 with a larger pump and I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm definitely concerned about sound, and I want something that will push over 1200gph. And of course it must be an external pump.

The tank is a 90g RR

I use a sequence dart. It is quiet and really moves some water.

I like all the Reeflo pumps, I have alos heard good things about Velocity.

The dart is 3,600gph, I think that may be overkill.
I have one on my loop, and it's not as quiet as I hoped(I'm about 12' away from it now and can hear it humm)
I'd look at the Oceanrunner 6500 at 1,700 gph for $89.
Alot of people seem to be happy w/ them and say they are very quiet and cool .

Yeah the dart would probably be too much. My tank is in my living room 6' away from the couch so quiet is an absolute must. I had a Gen-X PCX-40 and it was waaay too loud.

I have a Blueline 40HD on my CL, and I can hear it from outside the house. (tank's in the basement) Kind of wish I had bought a different pump now...

Haha well I guess I'll know NOT to get that pump!
