I am looking for advice on external main aquaium pumps. I Need to turn around 1000 to 1500 gph per pump. In order of importance: reliability, low heat induction into system, quite and low power draw(watts).Estimating less than 15 foot of head total.

What manuf. pumps do you use and how do you rate them with the a above criteria?

Thanks for the help.
 
I’m using a reeflo dart and I like it so far. It’s is running very quiet for me I placed it on 2 inch piece of foam and can barely hear it. It has a pretty low power usage and puts out good flow for the buck.
 
I also have a reeflo for my closed loop. The fan for my lights makes more noise than this pump. I think it is running at 3500gph.
