hey-

im building an internal canister filter for my fish tank. but im looking at inline pumps.

itll push through 1' of media in the container and another 2 feet of tubing roughly to the tank.

all this is for 15 gallon tank:screwy:~ but hey, it's a fish project.

where do you guys recommend for a good deal on water pumps? also, what ones are the best for being quiet (its going to run in my bedroom), runs cool, and are kinda energy efficient.

i figure ill ask here versus aquaria central since you guys seem to knowwhat you're doing with this stuff where over there there these questions never seem to be asked...:confused:
sorry for the many ?s but this is the first ive dont with an inline pump, so im a genuine, bonified noob :D:D!
 
What kind of flow are you hoping for?
 
Quiet one brand pumps are near silent in the lower pressure range models.

What exactly are you building that the pump would need to push through the media?
