    i am about to need a new one as well!

    i have used and am useing a aquaone, but i have a davey at work that pumps more in a minute than mine would in an hour and it seems quiter

    it also has automatic shut of levels and a much bigger head

    this leads me to belive that thier must be better pumps

    maybe Ben maybe able to help us with this question?

    I have only used a no name from bunnings for my automatic water changer it does 1000LPH and it cost $14.00. It is quiet for my purposes as it does not run all the time.

    I use the Sun Sun Submersible Pump HQB-3900.

    http://www.aquaticlifeaquariums.com....tml&lang=en-gb

    It's cheap and does a great job. Might be a little to powerful though and suits tanks around 4x2x2 or larger.

    Hope it helps... Oscar

    I find the Sun Sun pump isn't to noisy.
    The whole setup is noisy though.
    I have a 4x2x2 tank with a sump and the water going into the overflow section and water going into the sump itself can be quite noisy so be aware of that.
