Hi, looking for an extreme quiet pump got to be the red dragon, running in sump now, low to no heat issue compare to a previous mag 24 and quieter. Expensive but worth the money in the long run without replacing pumps as needed. REgards Ken

Where is the best place to get Red Dragon pumps in Canada? Or is everyone getting them from the States?

Cheers,
Vic

I have an Ampmaster 3000 that is absolutely silent, no noise, no vibration.














I wonder what it will sound like if I plug it in.

Ask your favourite dealer, I know my local shop can get them, not cheap but worth every penny.

Any LFS that sells Vertex products should be able to bring in RD pumps. My LFS sold me the deluxe 6.5m3 version for under $700. Which isn't too bad as they tend to sell for around $650 US.

I am also interested in a quieter pump. I am new to reef keeping so really don't know how many gal/hr is required for 120 gal. I think the pump I now have in the sump is 2600 but I could be mistaken.
Everyone says the Red Dragon pumps are expensive...expensive is a relative term...what would one be expecting to spend to get it to the tank?
