Looking for the best pumps around

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 use a pair of the Dart Hybrids rated at 4300 GPH on my 750. 8600 gph rating at under 300 watts.....
Hard to beat Darts. Anything bigger and you begin loosing efficiency.......
These would be worth a look if money's not a big deal.

I have an extra WLim Wave 1 (1/6hp) I'm not using...brand new in box.
PM me if you're interested.

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)
