    The current return flow rate of the stock Biocube 29g pump is 243gph. I'm looking for something a little quieter and a higher flow rate. Could any of the experts here at 3reef give me some cost efficient advice on what I should purchase to replace this slow loud crap pump outta the Biocube?

    Was looking at Marineland pump, but I don't like the brand very much however it seems like it'll be a nice fit inside the biocube.

    Not sure if 474gph would be too much for that tank considering I already have a small 175gph PH and a larger 500gph PH already running. Comments or suggestions?
