What pump for my used remora pro

I just recieved my "new to me" remora pro skimmer in the mail today. So after i do my water change i fire it up and dang that mag 3 pump that it came with sure is loud. Now for most this may not be a problem but for me with my tank in the living room and my wife trying to watch TV this becomes a problem... SO can anyone recomend a good affordable quite yet effecient pump to use with this skimmer?

Ehhh, not the mj1200 for the pro. They come with Mag 3 standard.

ehiem 1250 may be worth looking into
they are actually said to be underrated, and by my comparisons (research only, without any actual testing) they are more efficient


edit: then again, that may not work at all.. just a thought.

I've also read someplace else that the ehiem 1250 is more efficient than the mag3 on this skimmer.
