Return Pump ?'s for my 1st setup

I'm currently looking at some pumps for my return. You can check my page or the link in my signature for my setup info. In short I will have to have at least 750gph at 6' of head.

Can anyone give advice/opinions on the Taam Rio 20hf?

 

They are good pumps, I use the 8HF on my tank. I would suggest you get a return pump that runs no more than 10 times the sump's volume at 6 foot head. This allows your skimmer to be more efficient and lessens the chances of micro bubbles once everything breaks in.

 

Are they quiet?

 

I think it is but I have bad hearing so take it with a grain of salt. If your stand is closed off it definitely will keep the sound down. I have seen where guys have used sound dampening material in their stands also. Placing a mouse pad under the pump will help deaden the noise some too.

 

Thanx.
