quiet replacement for EuroReef RS-80

P

My EuroReef RS-80 has been working well but over the years (2) has been getting louder and louder. I think the needlewheel impeller assembly is old and worn. I just want to replace the whole thing with a new quiet and efficient skimmer. The Sedra 3500 also puts out too much heat for my small tank, 70G with 20L sump/refugium 2/3rd filled. Two options I've read about are Tunze DOC 9010 and BubbleKing Mini 160. The latter being much more $$$ but from what I've read worth it.

Anyone have opinions or other suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Well not much now. The pump just bit the bullet. Its a sedra 3500, I contacted Euro-Reef about a replacement but I'm thinking of moving to a new skimmer. Heat output is a bit high as is the 28watts it uses. The ceramic shaft and needle wheel are fine but it doesn't spin. It probably the coil magnet but at least it didn't leak..

Are you getting rid of the EuroReef skimmer? If so, how much?
