How do you like the Tunze pump? Was thinking about getting one myself for a return pump. How silent is it?

das tunze is a just a bit louder then the old ehiem 1250 i was running...
not to impressed so far actualy.. i did a water change this morning i went to plugthe pump back in and ....... nothing... not even a hum sound like the impeller is jamed... lots of bad language and a bit of fiddling... as in taking the return apart and pulling the pump out then putting it back in it started working again... so a few mins later i tryed it again and same thing happend.. ssooo its going back on the weekend and seeing if a replacment will change anything. anyone think it could be like a MH bulb and has to cool down a bit first to fire back up.. because it will only start when i remove it from the water and put it back in...????

My Hydor pump is exactly like that. The impeller spins but it won't push water unless it sucks air first. Doesn't seem to be a heat/cooling issue .. I'm not sure why it's like that.

One of the sedra pumps that feeds a euro-reef skimmer at the shop does that...we have to stick a finger in the input briefly and that seems to kick start it. Might be worth a try.
