Very quick question about pumps

[Str8baller]

What is considered the best brand of pump? I know different people have different preferences, but if you had to choose any pump for free what brand would it be? (I think mag-drive, but not sure)

My Mags 9.5 and 7 (danner supeme) are quite loud for my liking. I do not know if it is the vibration or if it is the pump itself.

Ocean Runner is my favorite. Quiet, cheap, low wattage and very reliable.

An Ehiem is my second choice, the same qualities as an Ocean Runner but with a higer price tag.

THis is for internal applications and small to medium sized systems. For larger external applications I have little experience.

I am using Eheim, and loving it!!!!

Eheims's are among the best for submersible pumps. External pumps -- I'm not sure. What are you looking for?

Im looking for external pump, and big in size. Its for a 300g reef tank.

Iwaki makes great pumps

 

[amike5]

Sequence is a great external pump for larger tanks.
