    I have been looking for the right pumps too for my build it's between.

    Water Blaster 16000 @ 4300 gallons - only a couple of reviews that i could find - quite and alot of flow even with 4 to 5 feet of head.

    Super Dart Gold @ 4300 gallons - Good pump should change/upgrade bearings and seal before installing. Doesn't take long to change get a couple of sets.

    Happy ReefN,

    Go with the dart hybrids very silent and you control the gph with your choice of impellers.

    It its what it is and how it should be.
