Yup, that's lookin' cool
With what I've read online, I'd go with an Eheim over a Quite One for noise and lifespan. I only own a Q-O 1200 but still find it sometimes hard to start. Maybe you could get the next size up and tee in a T-U Ball Valve for blowby if it's too much flow? I did this with one of mine so as not to stress the pump. It works so well I haven't used the Gate Valve yet. |

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 ? |

Sometimes ya just have to pull the trigger, otherwise you'll look and look and get nothing done. It's a hellofa pump for the price.
