What is the best performing QUIET $50 pump
 

I am looking to buy a good pump for my Maze2 and tower cooler setup. 1.5m tubing is at 3/8" throughout.

I would like max flow around 2000LPH(500GPH) at 0m head, or 500-1000LPH at 1.5m head. Looking to spend around $50.

Can anyone offer info on the following pumps

Eheim 1250
Eugene Danner model 7
Hydor Seltz L30 II
Dolphin DP560
Rio 3100

Basically which one is the QUIETEST one, and will deliver a good flow at a 1.5 metre head.

Thanks for the help guys!

The Danner works great. The darned things have a tendency to leak though when used inline.... Very quiet, very powerful.

do they come with hose barbs?

Nope, I ordered some hose barbs today from mcmaster. Should arrive by tomm if they ship today. They're only a dollar each.

Try Hydor or Eheim pumps. German products, heavy & tough. But 2000LPH for 50$ you're dreaming ;) expect 60 or 70$...
