pizzaguy November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 Never used an external return pump. 150 gallon tank 40 gallon sump would like to use as return and a manifold with 3 lines off of it. What is a very quite as it's in the living room pump that would work well
Ben A November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 I use a blueline pump to run my skimmer and have been very happy with it. Iwaki is also a very good pump, but would not use the model with the American motor. It your looking for a higher flow rate, reeflo is your best bet.
Ben A November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 Each external will make an audible humming noise. BRS made a good YouTube video on external pumps and do a noise comparison of the most popular models.
zygote2k November 17, 2014 November 17, 2014 bluelines and small pumps are pretty quiet. you'll most likelyh hear the skimmer over anything else.
JayeL November 20, 2014 November 20, 2014 Got two waterblasters 10000 and could not be happier. Plumbed it with flexible pvc to control vibrations (this is a must for any pump you are trying to keep quiet imo.) Low power consumption and great customer service.
