    I have a Magnum 9.5 as a return on my 125 and it's so annoying hearing it. It buzzes and vibrates.
    What are some good quality silent return pumps that you guys recommend?
    Hopefully something that is not made in China!

    Eheim if you can afford it.

    MaxiJet Utility Pumps... This is what I run. Silent and cheaper than an Eheim. They also have an awesome warranty.

    Water Blaster is substantially less power consumption of a eheim and comes with a 3 year. Water Blaster HY 3000: 750 GPH, 37w, $179
    Eheim 1260: 635 GPH, 65w, $164
