Silent..really silent by Durdo

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 6/20/2008

Comments: After some plumbing additions since moving from a wet pump to exernal I plugged it in and actually went to check my power strip because I didn't think it came on but low and behold water started coming out the returns in the tank! It was so quiet I removed my soundproofing foam from the inside of my tank doors and still only hear the water gently trickling. Only problem I'm having is that I purchased a second one for my protein skimmer but the pump is having difficulty with the micro bubbles so need to investigate a differnt venturi setup. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great

Same pump as Velocity? by MIKE CHAVANNES

Experience Level: Intermediate

Comments: Assuming this is the same pump as the Velocity T1 through T4 series (looks and sounds exactly the same), it is indeed a very good pump. It doesn't have a built in fan, and does run a bit hot (only reason for 4 stars instead of 5), but I've found that if you clean it regularly (every couple of months), it's no hotter than the Gen X pump I have which does have a built in fan. You can also point a computer fan at it, which does wonders for the heat issue. Onto the good points, when they say the pump is silent, they mean it. Granted, I have the normal aquarium noises muting the sound somewhat, but I literally have to either put my ear within inches of the pump or put my hand on it to make sure it's running. I've also inadvertently tested the dry run cut-off feature, and it works as advertised. The pump was running dry for at least 2-3 days while I was away on vacation and is still in perfect working order. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

5 Stars for the pump BUT... by JF

Comments: ...you will _have_ to invest in a chiller. This one puts out more heat than my other ones combined. However, it has good flow and its ethereally quiet. Yes, I would recommend this
