Welcome to the TRT!!!

all i know is i just got a quiet one, and it is really quiet. you really do not know it is running.

they only make one model now and it pumps 1100 gph. it is a low pressure pump. what kind of a pump are you looking for? inline, PH, how much gph are you needing.

i also have several mag pumps. only my 7 is what i would consider quiet. it is quiet, but does vibrate a fair amount so isolating it from any sounding board would be advised.

I'm using a mag 24 as a return pump on my 150, but it makes too much vibration and noise. I'm using the pump inline. I have a rio 2100 on my skimmer. Can you recommend a good online store to get the pump
