Hello here,
I have a 75g fresh water planted aquarium with an All Glass Aquarium sump. To supply the sump I am using a Rainbow Lifegard Quiet One Aquarium Pump 1200 which is not "very quiet":

and I'd like to find something else. I don't need big power and actually I don't want a pump more than 200gph capable for my purposes, I need it just as quiet as possible. It must be submersible of course. Any suggestion for such an alternative "really quiet" pump? Any idea is very welcome.

Thank you in advance to everybody.

Best,
Fab.
 
i use the same pump and mine is really quiet you cant even tell its running. maybe you have a bad impellar or a defective unit? have you tried to get a exchange for a different one? thats what i would do.
 
I've heard a lot of good things about the eheim pumps, and yes they are submersible. I use several of the mag-drive pumps, which I like.
