Looking for a return in-sump pump.
Too scared to have it be external so prefer in-sump.
Was planning on a Bubble king 300 and didn't need a pump that exceeded the flo thru of the bubble king that much.
The pump being quiet is the biggest consideration.
Thanks!

If money's no object, Mini Red Dragon 3.5 m3 Pump. If your looking for a realistic option the eheim 1262 or oceanrunners.

Ocean runner 6500 is a great pump I haven't had any issues and very quiet, the Red dragon or ATB flow pumps are also very good laguna based pumps.
Or you could save some money and just buy the laguna pump the 1500 would be good for that application.

Absolutely hate my OR 3500. Would not restart after 2 weeks of use. No help from manufacturer nor reseller, the latter having nothing to do with the pump. Replaced with eheim

For that flow range, the Eheim 1262 is really nice. Reliable, very quiet pump, with a very solid track record.

Ehiem 1262. Silent, reliable, and fairly energy efficient(80ish Watts).
