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!)
jtroutma, I suppose you mean the Sicce Idra? (http://www.sicce.co.uk).
I had one of them too, leaked a little and rattled as hell
I use it submerged now in one of my fishtanks...
Went for a 1250 now.

Be aware that Swiftech's new MCP300 pump is nothing else but a Sicce Idra (with modified Alu inlet & outlet)...
