I dont have personal experience with the Tunze, but i ended up with eheim from the research I did and all the rave reviews their pumps get from being both quiet and dependable. I'd also go with the eheim in this case because it moves more gph. Your system is just a tad smaller than mine and I have the 1262 running wide open.
