I'm interested to see people's opinions on CL pumps. I'm thinking seriously, esp. w/ the recall on koralia #3s (which i have 2 of), of changing out to a CLM for the asthetic appeal (no phs in the tank).
Anyway, the pumps i'm looking at are:
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Pump </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Cost </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Watts </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">GPH </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">GPH/W </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Noise</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sequence Dart 3600 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">$220.00 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">160 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">3600 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">22.5 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">52</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Poseiden PS4 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">$159.99 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">145 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">1225 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">8.45 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">30</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Little Giant 4-MDQX-SC </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">$149.99 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">145 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">1325 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">9.14 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">noisy</span></em>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">GenX PCX-70 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">$164.99 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">180 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">1537 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">8.54 </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">noisy</span></em>
Initial cost on the sequence is high, and it seems to be one of the quieter pumps (couldn't find decible ratings on the little giant or genX, but anecdotal testimony is that they are both louder pumps), but it is the more efficient pump. The only problem is that it is at the upper limit of what my wife will allow me to spend...
Anybody have any opinions or other suggestions?
thanks,
Matt
