What's the best 900gph closed-loop pump?

[foshizzle]

Looking for something quiet and reasonably priced to run on a 3/4" seaswirl closed loop. Suggestions?

Also, should I run 1" plumbing even though the seaswirl outlet is only 3/4"?

Don't know if you consider it reasonably priced but the velocity T4 sounds about right.

T4 rated at 30 decibels. How does this compare to others?

The t-4 is a great pump I run one on my return for my 90gl and I hear the overflow over the pump

It's the quitest. Other manufacturers don't even give their decibel rating. You'll have to touch it to know it's on.

Can't afford to add any heat to the tank. Other suggestions?
Would be nice to keep it under $100...

I don't have one, but the reports are very good on the Eheim pumps.

The T4 pump is by far the best pump I've used. Very silent like said above. I hear my skimmer(Sedra 7000) and the durso pipe over this pump. It does put some heat in the tank, but people go nuts with this. The heat is not enough to boil the fish.:p. It only adds 2F to the temp you have now. My tank temp stays constant at 78-80F. Before it was 76-78F. Good Luck dude:D

How big is your tank though? 90g?

I wanted to use a T4 but definetly couldn't see sticking it on a 30g...
