Jhnrb recommended Dolphin pumps to me and thats what Ill be using(nearly silent with no heat transfer due to motor and impellor housings being seperate). Sequence are also a highly recommended brand

I've used Rio Hyperflows in the past, and it worked fine. Right now I'm using an Eheim to run my protein skimmer and a MagDrive for a return pump. I like them both, but MagDrives have a reputation to release more and more stray voltage and heat into the water as they get older. I haven't had that problem (yet).

I'm using a Mag 2400 externally...loud and annoying.My next external pump will be a Panworld.Suppose to be a very good pump similar to the Iwaki Japanese pumps but at a much more affordable price.

The same engineer designed the pumps for both Iwaki and PanWorld.
