Quiet return pump?

[rfny75]

Hi, any suggestions for a good powerful return pump for a 75 gallon? I currently have mag 7, it was good enough until I hooked the chiller in line, now the flow is not as strong!
The tank is in the bedroom so the pump needs to be as quiet as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Is it the Eheim hobby or Eheim compact?

The Quiet One 4000 seems good too from what I just read online

oceanrunner are by far the most silent pumps I ever bought.When I first started up the pump I, had to check it several times to make sure it was running cause it was completely silent

Started out with a mag 9.5 switched over to the Eheim 1260. The difference isn't night and day. The 9.5 produced very little noise, just a little vibration, Eheim can still be heard, but barely noticeable. Primary reasoning for the switch was because of it's efficiency, little heat dissipation.

If flow is the issue, then perhaps you should consider the model rated for higher flow Eheim 1262 which is rated around 900gph vs the 600+, kinda depends on what your looking to accomplish with the pump.
