I have an Ampmaster 3000 that is absolutely silent, no noise, no vibration.














I wonder what it will sound like if I plug it in.

:lol:

I,m also wondering where Red Dragons are in Canada. I found them in California.

Ask your favourite dealer, I know my local shop can get them, not cheap but worth every penny.

there is a place on 16th ave that sells them. North side of 16th ave.

PM me for info on obtaining Red Dragon pumps.... :)

Any LFS that sells Vertex products should be able to bring in RD pumps. My LFS sold me the deluxe 6.5m3 version for under $700. Which isn't too bad as they tend to sell for around $650 US.

return pump
 

I am interested in this thread as I have recently set up a 120gal sps tank and the noise from the return drives me nuts!! I have the sump in a closet..the sump is on styrofoam and the pump is submersed and on neoprene. When the return is off the other pumps in the sump are hardly noticeable.

I don't want to go with minimal flow..would rather too much than too little. Are these Red Dragon pumps seriously quiet? What size would be preferable for a 120 gal tank.

Thx

Dragons are seriously quiet but they are also seriously expensive.

I have an Eheim 1260 and while it is not dead silent it is very, very quiet and has been absolutely bulletproof.

I am also interested in a quieter pump. I am new to reef keeping so really don't know how many gal/hr is required for 120 gal. I think the pump I now have in the sump is 2600 but I could be mistaken.
Everyone says the Red Dragon pumps are expensive...expensive is a relative term...what would one be expecting to spend to get it to the tank?

LOL, I was like... NICE, my pump will be quiet..... Oh crap, maybe not!??!
