Quiet One Lifegard Aquarium Pump, 1400-Gallon Per Hour

After reading many negative reviews about the Quiet One pumps on some aquarium forums, I decided to still go ahead and give this pump a try. I owned a couple of the older models of the Quiet One pumps and they were a bit more noisy, also had restart problems, but they lasted a long time. The new Quiet One 5000 has improved significantly. The pump is solid and does not feel cheap. It restarts without any problem and is EXTREMELY quiet. It does not come with rubber suction cups to dampen the vibration like most other submersible pumps, but it does include a rubber like adhesive pad you can put on the bottom. I also placed a piece of filter foam underneath it to absorb any residual vibration. This pump delivers plenty of power and flow from my 45 gallon sump return to my 120 gallon aquarium. In fact, even with a couple of 90 degree elbows, and "T", along with a 5' head, this pump needs to be dialed back with a ball valve. My overflow is capable of 1000 gph so I know this pump is not losing much flow.

The name Quiet One does not really refer to its operation as it is everything but.. It does raise the temp of the water, for the price I would expect more!! Look at your other choices...
