Anyone ever used these pumps before. They are claimed to be the quietest external pumps out there

Sorry I have not used those pumps. But I am very happy with my Sequence Dart pump. They arent directly comparable though, the Dart is a low head pump but can push 3600gph at 0'. At my head loss I think the Dart will still outflow all those velocity pumps (about 8'). My overflows are much louder than the pump (with dursos and about a 2" drop), I can barely hear the Dart running through the stand.
Yes, they are very quiet. They can run a little hot, though, and will add heat to your tank (probably not a problem if you have a FW tank).
Like the above poster, I use Sequence pumps now. Nearly as quiet, not as hot, and more powerful (but your overflows will have to be able to feed the bigger pumps adequately).

I use a Posieodon PS4(which i think is the same as a Velocity) for my UGJ/heater module and it's super quiet. It does add heat to the tank, about 4-5*. In the summer, central AC, i don't need to use a heater. I would recommend it providing you factor for the heat.

Have you actually used Velocity pumps? The pumps you mentioned are not particularly reliable after a year or two of use.......
