Pan World pump vs Reeflo Dart (1 Viewer)

[Niko5]

I currently have a Reeflo Dart which I really like but now after 4 years its starting to act up alittle it doesnt always start up again after its been shut off you have to give it a nudge...

So its overpowered anyway for my system I was thinking of changing to a Pan World 50PX-X but was wondering if the 50PX-X is quieter than the Dart or not?

Does anyone have experience with them??? My Dart is quite to me... but it is in a fish room... so its not dead quiet but quiet enough for the fish room.

Hi, Niko.
I had a Pan World 100PX-X and changed it out for an Eheim 1262. The Eheim is much quieter than the Pan World. Sorry, but I have no experience with a Reeflo Dart.

Good luck,
Steve

i have/ had a panworld 50px-x (i tore down my tank) running, it's far from dead quiet but it's nothing that will drive me crazy... it was louder under my tank/ in my stand that when i relocated it behind/outside the stand (my tank was 4.5'' away from the wall so it fit right between the stand and wall).

i have not owned a dart to directly compare it too other than the ones at fish stores like FishGallery where they are in a small room with 10+ of them running and vibrating getting their sound amplified due to the little room fitted with tile and cement.
