What is the quietist in-sump pump that will still push 1200gph or 800-900gph at a 4 foot head. I have *#$# Rios now and the pump great but loud as heck. I want stealth pumps! I don’t have room for a huge pump though or an outside of tank pump. I plan to buy two pumps to replace my Rio HF17 and my Rio 2100 any Ideas would be great.

What about a Mag24? Anyone have any thoughts on them. From what I found the Eheim wont be big enough for what I need. basicly I have a 90g reef with a 10g refug and a 15g sump so about 110gallons so with my math I need at least 1200 after head loss of 4 feet vert and then 2 feet horz each way. So that way it pumps to both sides of the tank.
Any help would be great
 
I think a mag24 is way overkill on a 90 gallon reef. You won't need a heater running that. Just because you have 2 overlows capable of 600gph does not mean you need to run 1200gph through a sump. You for sure don't want that much flow going through a fuge.
 
With a small sump fuge like that, you dont want a lot of flow. Maybe an OR 2500 or an Eheim 1260 max, but I would say that is even too much.
 
I just bought an ocean runner 3500 for my 75 gallon. I haven't recieved it yet but I had a thread asking the same question.
 
The sump and Refug are seperate systems with there own flow(that I control)
I just want to beable to turn the tank over 10 min in one hour, If you look at what the water amount is it would be about 100g +- And the head loss for this much pipe.

Dose the mag 24 put out that much heat?
