Just got a Cleair 85 gallon glass tank (65g in tank and 20g in sump). I need a pump but don't know what type to get or what minimum gph it should be. I would like to get the quietest pump available.

Any suggestions????

Thanks in advance.

Ecotech vectra m1 you won't be disappointed can't hear it at all and if you upgrade to a bigger tank you're covered
And you can plug in backup batteries

A couple brands I would recommend is Sicce Syncra Silent 2.0, Eheim1260, and Tunze 1073.050.
All pretty quiet pumps.
