Default Pumps and Cavitation......

I have had enough of this stupid Sedra pump that I paid too much for!

The damn pump is the LOUDEST part of my whole computer by a LONG shot and I am tired of listening to it. (I cant even hear my 7200 RPM HDDs AND MY Sunon 120mm fan over the noise!)

I tried converting my whole system over to 1/2" equivalent and it is still just as loud.

/rant mode off

How well does the Eheim 1060 handle backpressure? I am thinking about getting the 1060 over the 1250 simply because I am not sure that the 1250 will provide enough flow. BUT I dont want to get the 1060 if it will just cavitate and give off the same amount of noise that this Sedra is already doing. I am stuck!

:shrug: (This has NOT been the best month for me at all!)
