Gen-X Mak 4
This pump has really impressed me so far. It is quiet, handles pressure and provides substantial flow. They run relatively cool as well. I can't tell you long term how it'll be but so far so good.

Steve, the threads are external - have'nt tried mine on any skimmers yet, but been thinking of putting it on a AquaC style skimmer - great pump.

I have one. It's not completely whisper-silent but it's the quietest pump that I'm currently running. Enclosed into a stand I can't really hear it at all (one caveat: I have a LOT of ambient noise in my basement).
I knew I was impressed with that pump but after seeing Stephane's 4' beckett skimmer now I am REALLY impressed. Hey Stephane what diameter is that, is that 8"?

Well, after a lenghty look at the MAK and the velocity, I decided to go with the MAK 4's for two reasons; less heat and they are pressure rated. hopefully they will be here tomorrow or Sunday, as I also ordered bulkheads and I need to figure out what hole size they need so I can order the euro bracing for my tank..
