The Snapper runs whisper quiet. I can show you the Dart at the store sometime. They should be identical in performance.

The Poseidon puts out a lot of heat, couldn't run it on my 72 gal. Albert, how are the Snappers as far as heat goes?

You can also check out the Red Devil pump - I believe that Hidden Reef carries them. They are super quiet but also very $$$$$

Devil... :lol:

You mean Dragon, right Ruth. :mrgreen:

:redface: Caught - must have been on a flight of fantasy there Ryan.............. of course I mean Dragon.

Snappers also put out a lot of heat, but the volute is completely seperated from the motor assembly, so there's no heat transfer.

Eheim - 1262 is super reliable and quiet. 80w power consumption - more efficient than the comparable mag9.5 - Only 900gph though

Oceanrunner 3500 - Same as above, 65w - again only 900gph range though

Tunze makes a turbelle return pump - don't know a darn thing about it either - but you know it'd have tunze pricing, and reliability.

I have 2 posiedons on my 65gal and I have no isues with heat. My tank runs between 79-82 deg. And they are super quit, my fans are louder and the only sound they make is the sound of moving air.

Any Experience with Quietone pumps, I was looking at the 6000.

Quiet Ones are not very quiet. I have one on my skimmer and one on my return (different sizes). They've been very reliable though.
