Not so silent

Bought this pump because it was supposed to be very quiet. It is in fact not quiet at all - it has the vibrations of a small handtool and consequantially the whole display emits a droning hum which very much takes away from the beauty. Very disappointed with this products mislaeding claim of 'silence'.
One benefit of the pump - variable flow easily adjustable.

I bought this pump to run NP pearls in a Two little fishies 550 phosban reactor which it does very well. Really impressed with the fact that I can't hear it and that I didn't notice any increased heat gain in my tank. I'm actully going to be ordering another one in the coming months for another build I'm going to do, :).

I use this pump for my auto-topoff. It starts up everytime without issue and while noise isn't an issue for a pump that only runs 20 - 30 seconds a day, even without the suction cups and sitting on the bottom of the plastic bucket, it's still very quiet!

Selected this model for flow rate. Selected Tunze for reputation. When first hooked up and running, the pump did have a noticeable hum, but has slowly quieted as it broke in and continues to do so. Very good pump.

If you want a pump for your fish tank then i would not recommend this product. As good as this pump is for watts it just does not have the power of my Via aqua pump. It is much smaller and it is pumping over 4 feet so take that into consideration. On the plus side,It is virtually silent and has no heat from the motor. If you want flow, choose the bigger size or pump lower than 4 feet of head.

This little pump does what it's advertised to do - move a lot of water and is very quiet. I use it as my return pump from my sump servicing a 50G display tank. No issues and it starts back up with no problem after it's been turned off. This was an issue I had with the Atman this replaced.

I decided to go with this for my second tank (FOWLR). Since it was a second tank, I wanted it to be more effient in energy use. So at less than ~40 watts, it's great for the amount it pushes. At four feet, I would think I'm pushing around ~250 GPH, which is fine for me since it lets more water dwell in the sump section. I have a 1 inch overflow and this return pump works fine for the level I want since I'm relying on powerhead to move water instead of a return pump.

extremely satisfied with this versatile pump, puts out great flow (792 GPH) with minimal noise. it also can be adjusted while operating to softer settings ranging down to (79 GPH) without sacraficing high output capabilities, has a small footprint (4.6 x 3.7 x 2.9) for a variety of placement applications, has few parts for optimal efficiency and ease of maintainig. By far the best pump i have owned!
