    Try looking at SEN pumps. Not sure if they're quiet, but I'm thinking of getting one for my tank.

    Rio HF series pumps, you want one that returns 10 times your sump's volume at 4 to 5 foot head.

    I was thinking about a quiet one I have one that came with a free tank I got and it seems fairly quiet, but the sen pumps look good too.
