Default External Pump Info.

Has anyone ever come accross a chart listing external pumps with thier flow and average noise level? (Decibles). I am looking for the quietest external pump around 1700-2400 GPH

Todd I took some advice from a fellow canreefer and tried 2 of this pump. http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...duct_ID=wp-ps4

Unreal how quiet they are. I have tested them for about 2 hours and would have no problem using them in the living room.

That was the pump that I was looking at, but it is a little undersized for what I wanted and getting 2 is a little pricy. How cool do they run?

They don't run cool. Burn your hand after a few min holding it.

Did not run them long enough to 100% test that, so unable to answer.
