need advice on an affordable pump for my 40b closed loop

[new2saltyfish]

Like the title says i was wondering if i could get some advice...i had a mag 9 but it's HORRIBLE for a closed loop. soo loud! I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what would be an affordable pump for the job. I was looking at the quiet one 3000 but i heard they add heat to the water bigtime. I'm looking for something affordable and quiet...again it's only a 40B. thanks for any help

it wont add any more heat to the water than a mag 9.

do you have the return split up to multiple outputs? if so you could always go big and get most/all of your flow from the closed loop.

yea it's 4 outputs...i have a mp10 on there right now as well for flow

eheim ...for a closed loop on a 40b you shouldn't need a huge one

what GPH should i be looking for?

If you are going to use an oceans motions and plan to keep a bit of sps, I would go around 2000gph pressure rated pump.

yea i'm going to use and oceans motion...BUT i have an MP10 in there already as well... which i guess is 1570gph...could i get something around 800 then and be alright?
