I have a 60 cube and om using an EHEIM 1262. I have it throttled back slightly via ball valve, but its dead quiet and gives u nice flow

I run a Water Blaster HY-3000 on my 57 rimless, it is silent. The piece that is loudest on my tank is the fans on my Aqua Planet when the MH are running, my tank is in my living room so I need it to be quiet. I ran a RO Super Reef 1000 with a Bubble Blaster for a year and the only thing I could hear on that was the air intake, I think you may have had a bad pump on that skimmer.

Hey Brian, you saw the Speedwave DC-10000 I have for my return. I have had it for 2-3 months now and love it. I love the "Feed" mode (I no longer have to use my RKL for it) and how I can control the water level in my Rimless DT by throttling it up or down. And on top of that, it's dead silent. Especially compared to the Mag18 I had before!

Eheim Compact 2000 Pump is what I have, very quiet.

Tunze Silence pumps are great as well. I run one of those with an Eheim as a backup.

Not sure what's the best but I've been using the Eheim 12xx pump. Was using the 1250 before this current tank and now using 1262 with a valve. Still have the 1250 which is probably over 10 years now.
Love the silent operation and the reliability. Always start back up after shutting it down.

Actually, I'll change out the 1262 with my 1250. No reason why to run it with a valve when I can probably use the 1250 if it is has good enough head pressure.
