You won't find those two things in a pump at that capacity. Really, go look at pond suppliers. I have been shopping for the same thing. The brands that seem to be most used for aquariums (Reeflo) don't seem as power efficient or have as long a warranty. The pond pumps, I fear will be noisier since they are designed to be outside. Good luck in your search.

I haven't tried these yet... but a friend has told me they are the s*** lol word for word...

Aquael PFN PLUS you can get 25 000 LPH ( 6000 gallons ruffly...) @ 350W but they are DC and controllable so you can reduce the flow which in turn will reduce the wattage.

I think if these last they will be my new pump.. I really liked the waveline DCs but too many have now died on me so I dont trust them + these pumps have a complete different build and nicer specs in my eyes.

Otherwise id go with a laguna only pumps that have not played up on me to date.

I get by with my cheap Darts....... lol. I'd love to try one of those Sweet Water pumps but honestly, IF I had that kind of money to spend on a pump, it would be hard not to resort back to a pair of Darts, since they're half the price.....

Would be very curious to see what the kill o watt readings are on those Sweet Water pumps.

The Wlim pumps are really nice too. I believe they use one of the motors you can get on Darts (Emerson)
