lockrookie's 180g (build #3)

[lockrookie]

ive been using the quiet ones for 3 years and have no issues with them yet my skimmer makes more noise than the QO pump my main issue is the flow i have read a few ppl dissapointed with the ehiem not pushing as much flow as its rated and that 1262 does more performance(but isnt large enough for my needs)... i dont want flow envy

Don't get me wrong. As I say, my only QO experience is a 1200 for transfers. And I wasn't recommending a 1262 I don't know how your plumbing is set up.
If you're happy with the QO line why not go with the 6000 then ? J&L has them on sale right now

What about the oversize idea and tee it off ?
