I have had a Maxi-Jet 1200 for a few months and it seems to be doing the job water flow wise as I have pretty decent temps and best of all little flux between idle and heavy load.

The only thing that bugs me more then anything is Humm and coming from a fish hobyist background I know how difficult this is to get rid of.

In a perfect world I would be able to find a pump around the same size, so it can fit in my res, that has about the same or a little more flow rate for not a ton of money and little to no humm.

My second choice would be one I can run inline and I would continue to use the res, but just inline to add extra water since I already have it might as well use it and again no humm or at least less then the maxi-jet 1200.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark

Strange... i have the same pump and it is dead silent (although i do have it in a 10gal res) - are you telling me it'll become noisy later on? :(

I might stop by a pet shop and see if I can get a 5 gallon or less tank. I will see if this reduces the noise.
