I have two Coralife Super Skimmers and have been satisfied with their performance but the pumps are a bit loud for my liking, so i've been thinking about getting a new skimmer that is quieter or building my own, in either case i kinda want them to be recirculating, but the main thing i'm looking for right now is what pumps to look for that are quiet, one for a feed pump and/or another for a recirculating pump
for the recirculating pump i would prefer that its threaded on both intake/outlet and have needlewheel propeler and what not, hope this isn't too much to ask from a pump
 
SEDRA makes a really great pump, Needle wheel, I have the Sedra 9000 & really like it, comparing to the gen-x hands down quieter. Eheim makes great pumps so the two would work out nicely for your application. JMO :)
 
here you go:

if you order the internal one make sure you get the venturi as well,
i usually order the external version w/ plumbing/venturi and get them to sell me the other half of the unions, (they are spears usa 1/2" unions) if im using it as a recirc.
these pumps are excellent for mesh modding as well, and probably a little better than sedra pumps, but the sedra pumps are good too, both will be quiet.
