    thanks for all the input... kind of backs up my thinking.. i was leaning towards the quiet one, because of price.. and may get a Sicce 4.0 if the money is flowing in the right direction.. I know Eheim has been around and is very reliable and i have used them before for other applications... but I'm just not a fan of their design.

    You need to double check this, but it seems to me that the Sicce have a smaller footprint than most too Mike.

    what are you using it for? return? did you check the flow chart?

    I had a 3.0 as a reactor pump and it was perfect for that. To be honest for a return pump I probably would have chosen the 3.5 instead because of the large drop in head pressure on the 3.0
