IM Nuvo 10 Gallon Retrun pump upgrade?

danromero87 · 01/22/2019, 01:10 PM

Well, I have come to the desperate conclusion of having to replace my current return pump for something quieter. My Pregnant wife can't take the ever so slight hum, considering the tank is on my nightstand. haha Doesn't bother me one bit. It was suggested to me to place a rubber mat under the pump to help silence it however this did not work. I just wanted input from other people in the Nano community what they recommend? I am leaning towards the Tunze 1073.008 however would like to see if anyone suggests another option.

I use the IM mighty jet and i wish i did it sooner. You can adjust the flow and there is even a pulse mode and feed mode. I love it.

The sicce Micra plus or even the next step up is honestly the quietest and best option.

The IM mighty jet is great, but even on the lowest setting it has way more flow than the stock pump. Super quiet.
