Hi, I am running a 200 gallon freshwater tank with an open sump, below-tank filter. The submersible pump is an Oblong FS-7000 (rated at 1200 gph at zero head). It was made in China, came with the aquarium package, and there is little to no online information available. It's doing a fine job at pumping water, except it seems to be adding a bit of heat to the water. I know that any submersible pump will necessarily add some heat, but my question is, are there particular pumps known for low heat production (high efficiency) that I could consider as a replacement? It's also just a little noisy: not too bad, but a quieter pump would be better in our living room. So, two related questions: a pump with lower heat production and, hopefully, less noise.
Thanks!
Thanks!
