I will look into the Eheim.......most that I have seen are a lower flow rate....but it beats needing hearing protection to feed the tank!!

I am thinking you may have to go to external to get it quieter and in that flow range.

Yes, I am looking for a larger volume.......but need to find something quiet for sure. External is not so good as I don't have much room.

I will go check out the dimentions and pump price. The dimentions will tell me if I can fit it in the sump or not. Externally I don't have much room....unless I set it on the kitchen table. I will cover it with the table cloth and my wife won't even know its there!
Thanks for everyones input....I should have asked on here a while ago and I could have eleviated some PAIN!! More a PITA making changes to find out nothing changes or it gets worse!
