Oops forgot to mention my uh point.

A 900 GPH Little Giant pump will likely be overkill. Pick a large heatercore (1975 Caprice or 1970 Blazer w/o AC) that can mount two quiet 120mm fans (more surface area will mean you can get by with quieter fans). Consider undervolting a 172mm Comair fan (I have a 24V one I run at 12 and it is a nice choice). Lots of people love Eheims because they are quiet and reliable. I have a 1048 Eheim in one case now, and have used a 1250 in the past. I would choose an Eheim 1250 if space is not an issue. They are also a little more expensive than other Magdrives. For blocks I personally use Swiftech and Innovatek blocks but I have seen some promising numbers for the DTek TC-4 as well.
