If its an external I would recommend Reeflo. From what ive gathered they are the quietest running externals around. I use Gen-X on my 350, and I wish they were more quiet since it is in my living room. If I was pump shopping, I would be going after Reeflo.

Iwaki MD100RLT. Pricey, but meets both of your requirement! If not, Dolphin is 2nd option, then Reeflo should be 3rd

Reeflo and quiet don't go in the same sentence!

How many GPH are you looking for? External or internal? These would help with suggestions.

Because he doesn't want to regret the day he bought them... I really need to go to bed. I'm so surly tonight.
