Hi everyone! We recently purchased the pro star 150 to upgrade our currently pro star 60 but I’m unsure of a return pump. Our 60 has a Sicce and it’s okay, hoping for something quieter, if possible. Any recommendations would be super helpful!

Sweet! Thank you for the recommendationsAny dc pump will be very quiet.
If you're on a budget then jebao dcp or newer work really well, otherwise varios/vectra/red dragon are great quality (these are all ones I used first hand and continue to use).
Would recommend skipping neptune cor pumps though if that was in consideration.
Looking for a DCSurprised about the Sicce noise complaint. It's touted frequently as the quietest AC return pump on the market.
Do you want AC or DC ?
Ooooh! Someone else had recommended the Varios 6 I believe as well. Definitely looking to automate this time aroundI have two VarioS 8 running on my tank and I love them. Dead quiet, easy to control- and Apex-ready!
The VarioS skimmer pumps have the same great qualities as well!
They won't let you down! While not being exactly cheap, they are still priced very reasonably so you can justify running two for redundancy as I do.Ooooh! Someone else had recommended the Varios 6 I believe as well. Definitely looking to automate this time around
Nice!! We’re thinking about getting the skimmer, too. We currently have a Coralvue IceCap and kinda hate it. The thumb screws are awkward to work with and it seems to have issues every so often. We’re looking forward to the new setup and getting some nicer upgrades.They won't let you down!

I was planning on buying just one Red Dragon but due to delivery time to the UK I ended up with the VarioS ones in the end. Not disappointed at all.
I have the VarioS 4 skimmer pump as well on my protein skimmer.
