Any experience on these pumps?

I need pumps that are EXTREMELY quiet! The setup is in the living room, and these Poseidon pumps boast only 30db!

Has anybody used/heard (or not heard) them? How is the quality? I was initially thinking of either Iwaki or Pan.

thanks

The page wouldn't load for me.
If you are looking at the T-4 or T-3 pumps, they are suppose to be very quiet,, but they have been known to add a few degrees of heat to the tank.
I have a pan world pump and I am not real happy with it. I has a fan that is noticeable.
I bought a T-4, but haven't had a chance to put it in service.

these are worth looking into, it will be tuff in the living room as most will make some noise, just get a louder surround sound system
These are probably louder because of the higher flow rates, they are considered very quiet, maybe you can find one smaller.

If it is just to be a return I like quiet one pumps. The 6000 is simular in flowrate but does not have as high a shut off head in feet pumped. It is very quiet. My skimmer and the fan I use to cool the tank are both louder by far.

Yes Steve brings up a good point about the use of the pump would also help determine what size you will need or want to use, 1,200 gph may be too high for a return most like a slow smooth flow across the sump for skimming & other filtration devices & heating etc.. & depending on the size of your tank you may want more for a CL?
