dhindry Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Who is using what type of pump? I currently have a cheap 5000 LPH pump, and it is as noisy as hell. Can't stop the vibrating. You get what you pay for What type of pumps are available around 5000LPH + here in NZ? The quieter the better Either submersible or external.

chimera Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I use an Iwaki 55RLT (external) returns about 3,500lph - although that's at 10 feet of head. At 4 feet it does about 4,100lph. An Iwaki 70RLT would be ideal for you. I would guesstimate it would cost you approx $550 landed from Marine Depot. Very quiet pumps too.

Ira Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'm using a Laguna PJ5000. Does 6000LPH@0 head, somewhere around 4500 at 5ft. Cost me $180 and I think Dogmatix may be able to get you one similar for a similar price. They're very quiet. Normal retail is like $360, so if you had to pay that much, I think going for the Iwaki if you can get it at $550 starts to become a good alternative.
