Quietest return pump

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.

I've heard the expression "Quietnone" on this board before, not sure how quiet they would be then, lol.

I heard Quietone pumps add heat to the system (but that could be the older models....... when the casing was brown and not blue).

All submersable pumps will add heat to a system. Some more than others.
