Todd I took some advice from a fellow canreefer and tried 2 of this pump. http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...duct_ID=wp-ps4

Unreal how quiet they are. I have tested them for about 2 hours and would have no problem using them in the living room.

That was the pump that I was looking at, but it is a little undersized for what I wanted and getting 2 is a little pricy. How cool do they run?

They don't run cool. Burn your hand after a few min holding it.

Did not run them long enough to 100% test that, so unable to answer.

On my 16G nano, running that pump, the water goes to 92. You need some serious fans or a chiller to run that pump on a nano. It will raise a 60G tank 1 or 2 degrees.

16G tank with a 1200 GPH pump! Thats crazy.

I was thinking of two on the 135g that I am planning!
