Need large pump recommendation from pump experts

[kimha]

Hello pump experts,

I need an absolutely quiet return pump for a 600g display tank. Otherwise my wife would not let me have it inside the house. please provide a list of pump choices that you would recommend. Thanks much.

I tried this pump and it was quiet but didn't pass the sound requirement (still has very noticeable motor humming sound at night).

Abyzz pumps.

I replaced my Hammerhead with a Royal Exclusive Speedy 230, can't even hear it running, so smooth you can barely feel it. 3 running on my system for almost a year with no problems. 1 return and 2 on closed loops. Best pumps I have ever owned! Same Flow as Hammerhead 1/3 Rd less watts.

On top of that system ran 2 degrees cooler with Speedy 230, I run all my pumps external.

1.2 kilowatt pump only $255 a month to run in CA on full power. You could probably buy a nice used car for what that pump will cost. How many gallons?

+1 on the rd230. It's a great pump and super duper quiet! I ran it externally for a while but just recently moved in internal because of how I wanted to redo my plumbing. Both ways are very very very quiet.
