Quite return pump for 225 gallon

[Daniel400G]

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to know everyone's thoughts.....building a new 225 gallon reef-fish tank, the tank will be in my office and want a quite DC return pump. Something good quality the is little to no noise. Around the 3000 gallon per hour range .I was looking at the ecoteck L1, but lots of bad reviews .
This would have worked out because I have the reef link for my lights and mp40 .please let me know Thanks!

I am in the minority but i have used a Jebao 15000 on my 200gal for almost a year. It is super quiet as I only run at about 50% but have cranked it up higher and it still is super quiet. Best part is it's about half the price of the Ecotech's. Just my 2cents

I'll second the Jebao I have a DCP 8000 and it's dead silent, I also run at 50% and no issues at all.

I just read where the Vectra L1 had some changes made to it to deal with the issues with the impeller.
So you should checkout the new ones.
Reef Octopus VarioS-8 is another.
And if you have a little bigger budget, checkout the RD3 150 watt.

I really like my Reef Octopus VarioS-4 - so I imagine the 8 would be nice and quiet as well.

@mfinn can you link to where you read about changes to the L1?

It was here on R2R yesterday, somewhere.
