Are the Quiet one considered a pressure pump ans do they have external pumps like the iwaki and reeflo?
Are there not many external pressure pump users out there? I have read several stores reviews on the Iwaki pumps, and every other persons (1 out of 2) say they are loud as if it's the luck of the draw if you gt a lound pump. Still trying to see if there are other external high pressure pumps someone might be using out there that might be quieter than the Iwaki's. One person mention reeflo, but they don't seem to have the high pressure ones needed to run two NuClear cannister. Any other user out there inputs/opinions/advice?
Used an Iwaki before and they have a nice consistent hum, just lowered the bio-balls in the overflow to make a waterfall effect and cover up the pump noise. Can't do that with canisters, but didn't find it annoying loud.
Little Giants pumps are definitely noisier, but cheaper. Thats the only other pump I am using now.
Can try asking at http://www.reefcentral.com/ if you're not getting the advice you want.

Thanks for the response, I think I am going to try either using my existing reeflo dart in parallel like mention by Egon, or try a blue line..
I can tell you my hammerhead gold isn't too loud unless I valve it back but it moves a lot of water
